Description

xlinpack_xeon32

The 32-bit program executable for a system based on Intel® Xeon® processor or Intel® Xeon® processor MP with or without Intel® Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 (SSE3).

xlinpack_xeon64

The 64-bit program executable for a system with Intel Xeon processor using Intel® 64 architecture. This program may accelerate execution by using Intel® Xeon Phi™ coprocessors if they are available on the system.

xlinpack_mic

The 64-bit program executable for a native run on an Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor.

runme_xeon32

A sample shell script for executing a pre-determined problem set for xlinpack_xeon32.

runme_xeon64

A sample shell script for executing a pre-determined problem set for xlinpack_xeon64.

runme_xeon64_ao

A sample shell script for executing a pre-determined problem set for xlinpack_xeon64. The script enables acceleration by offloading computations to Intel Xeon Phi coprocessors available on the system.

runme_mic

A sample shell script for executing a pre-determined problem set for xlinpack_mic.

lininput_xeon32

Input file for a pre-determined problem for the runme_xeon32 script.

lininput_xeon64

Input file for a pre-determined problem for the runme_xeon64 script.

lininput_xeon64_ao

Input file for a pre-determined problem for the runme_xeon64_ao script.

lininput_mic

Input file for a pre-determined problem for the runme_mic script.

help.lpk

Simple help file.

xhelp.lpk

Extended help file.

These files are not available immediately after installation and appear as a result of execution of an appropriate runme script.

lin_xeon32.txt

Result of the runme_xeon32 script execution.

lin_xeon64.txt

Result of the runme_xeon64 script execution.

lin_xeon64_ao.txt

Result of the runme_xeon64_ao script execution.

lin_mic.txt

Result of the runme_mic script execution.

Optimization Notice

Intel's compilers may or may not optimize to the same degree for non-Intel microprocessors for optimizations that are not unique to Intel microprocessors. These optimizations include SSE2, SSE3, and SSSE3 instruction sets and other optimizations. Intel does not guarantee the availability, functionality, or effectiveness of any optimization on microprocessors not manufactured by Intel. Microprocessor-dependent optimizations in this product are intended for use with Intel microprocessors. Certain optimizations not specific to Intel microarchitecture are reserved for Intel microprocessors. Please refer to the applicable product User and Reference Guides for more information regarding the specific instruction sets covered by this notice.
