Description: GPU/CPU Benchmarking on Debian-package based systems This
        package benchmarks performance of a few standard linear algebra
        operations (such as a matrix product and QR, SVD and LU
        decompositions) across a number of different BLAS libraries as
        well as a GPU implementation.
 .
 To do so, it takes advantage of the ability to 'plug and play'
        different BLAS implementations easily on a Debian and/or Ubuntu
        system.  The current version supports - reference blas
        (refblas) which are unaccelerated as a baseline - Atlas which
        are tuned but typically configure single-threaded - Atlas39
        which are tuned and configured for multi-threaded mode - Goto
        Blas which are accelerated and multithreaded - Intel MKL which
        are a commercial accelerated and multithreaded version. As for
        GPU computing, we use the CRAN package - gputools
 .
 For Goto Blas, the gotoblas2-helper script from the ISM in Tokyo can be
        used. For Intel MKL we use the Revolution R packages from
        Ubuntu 9.10.
