Was there some other program consuming CPU, like a misbehaving Ubuntu service that wasn't in CentOS? I love short benchmarks like this as I can disassemble the resulting binary and ensure that the compiled instructions match my expectations, and the compiler hasen't messed with it. ## 6. include <sys/time.h>

Here’s some predictions I’m making: Jack Dongarra’s efforts to highlight the low efficiency of the HPCG benchmark as an issue will influence the next generation of supercomputer architectures to optimize for sparse matrix computations. In early January a related paper was published by Satoshi Matsuoka et. petaflops, which is 0.8%

Another big jump, but now it was my job to run benchmarks in the lab, and write white papers that explained the new products to the world, as they were launched. I was mostly coding in C, tuning FORTRAN, and when I needed to do a lot of data analysis of benchmark results used the S-PLUS statistics language, that is the predecessor to R.
