The national labs have proven Throw away ALL your copies of the LINPACK 100x100 benchmark if you are interested in supercomputers. The 300x300 is barely big enough and uses a barely good-enough algorithm to qualify for supercomputer comparison as a low-impact guideline only. JJD has lots of warning words in the first paragraphs of his list but looks like most people go right to the table and never read the paper. If you must use a single-program benchmark, use the lesson taught by the Sandia people (JohnGustafson, et.al.): Keep the time fixed and vary the problem size.
