I am new to running Linpack. From the extended help, I see:
The leading dimension must be no less than the number of equations. Experience has shown that the best performance for a given problem size is obtained when the leading dimension is set to the nearest odd multiple of 8 (16 for Intel(R) Itanium(R) 2 processors) equal to or larger than the number of equations (divisible by 8 but not by 16, or divisible by 16 but not 32 for Intel(R) Itanium(R) 2 processors).
Can someone explain to me why this is the case? Thanks!
