Hi Stam, Thanks for your time, and the link to the documentation. Now I see there is 7 programs (tests) and I'm only interested in one, namely, HPL, or the use of calculus (in this case a linear system, but anyone would do the job) to estimate the FLOPS of a system. I see it is such a rocket to kill a fly, but I think I might be able to understand and adapt the results, as long as I get stable and consistent results. I'm finishing here. Any other doubt I'll ask in a more specialized list, as you pointed out. Cheers, Beco -- Dr Beco A.I. researcher --> . <-- "Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us.
