Hi Cathy,
The TIMING programs needed to be updated, they will be back very soon into
LAPACK.
To report performance, you should use FLOPS (number of floating point operation
per second) , and certainly GFLOPS for your machine.
This is how performance are generally reported, see
http://top500.org/list/2011/11/100 for example
All the operation counts and timing is done by the timing routine so that you
just have to plot your data.
If you want to know the flop (number of floating point operation) of each
routine, you can have a look at the SOPLA routine that was in LAPACK 3.0.
Also do not forget that most of the LAPACK performance will come from your
optimized BLAS library.
Hope it helps
Sincerely,
Julie

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am a graduate student of University of Science and Technology of China.
In my study, I need to test the performance of Lapack 3.2.1. Timing
programs provided with LAPACK 3.0 could be abtained, but LAPACK 3.2.1 does
not provide timing programs. I wonder why don't you continute to provide the
timing programs.
There are some difference between 3.0 and 3.2.1.I am trying to copy the
corresponding LAPACK 3.0 routines and modify them. I found the performance
data is reported using two statistics:run-time in seconds and speed in
MFLOPS.Can I only use the run-time to measure measure performance? If speed
is necessary, how to count flops correctly?
By the way, is there any software or tool to test the performace of
LAPACK?
I am looking forward to your reply.
Best wishes!
Cathy Ning
