Linpack for Android without any Advertisements.

Speed test your Android device and ROM with this standard CPU benchmark. Check
the speed of your Android device and compare it to other Android devices.
Results in millions of floating point operations per second (MFLOPS). Save
results or post to the website to beat the best times.

Note: Your MFLOPS rating will increase in this version due to updated
libraries and methods. Shows Android is improving! Newly added the ability to
fully test multi-core processors with the use of multi-threading. Compare
speeds from a single and multi-thread runs. See how well your multi-core
device works under android.

The Linpack for Android application is a version created from the original
Java version of Linpack created by Jack Dongarra. That version is located at
netlib.org

The LINPACK Benchmarks are a measure of a system’s floating point computing
power. Introduced by Jack Dongarra, they measure how fast a computer solves a
dense N by N system of linear equations Ax = b, which is a common task in
engineering. The solution is obtained by Gaussian elimination with partial
pivoting, with 2/3*N3 + 2*N2 floating point operations. The result is reported
in Millions of FLoating-point Operations Per Second (MFLOP/s, sometimes simply
called MFLOPS).

This test is more a reflection of the state of the Android Dalvik Virtual
Machine than of the floating point performance of the underlying processor.
Software written for an Android device is written using Java code that the
Dalvik VM interprets at run time.

Questions asked about the app:

What is the purpose of this app?

This is a simple benchmark test to show performance relative to other phones
for a standard calculation. Linpack has been used for years on all types of
computers, with a version used to rate the TOP500 computers in the world.

What speed is better?

A higher number is better. From the Top Devices list, you can see that each
device has a certain range that they all come in at. What can affect the
number is what else is running on android and the ROM version. It appears that
Android 2.0 will also improve performance.

Does having faster speed improve the android phones or what?

Yes, it should. The Dalvik VM has a huge impact on the Linpack number. A
better number on the same device would indicate that a new version update has
improved performance. Or it could show that something has gone terribly wrong
if the number goes down.
