Intel® Optimized HPCG version

[Preeti_S_Intel]

Hello,

I am currently using Intel® Optimized HPCG from Intel MKL 2017 Beta. Under the Package Contents, in the table in https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-mkl-benchmarks-suite the version specified for the 'Intel Optimized High Performance Conjugate Gradient Benchmark' is v3.0. But in the Intel Optimized HPCG  output '.yaml' file, the version is 2.4. I have a few of questions regarding the HPCG version:

a) What is the Intel® Optimized HPCG version in Intel MKL 2017 Beta ( l_mklb_p_2017.0.004.tgz package) ?
b) In which compiler version the Intel® Optimized HPCG version 3.0 will be included?

Thanks,
Preeti Suman

Hi Preeti, Alongside with old HPCG v2.4 result, benchmark from MKL 2017 Beta also produces HPCG 3.0 compliant result. It is there in yaml file: . . . Total with convergence and optimization phase overhead: 12.31194 Total with convergence and optimization phase overhead (HPCG 3.0): 12.26647 . . . Upcoming benchmark update will produce 3.0 compliant score by default and will clearly state it is HPCG v3.0 compliant benchmark. Standalone benchmark package will be available in mid-May from MKL Benchmarks suite home page: https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-mkl-benchmarks-suite Best regards, Alexander
