The matrix transpose and multiply benchmarks are on the web, and I used FFT from Ron Mayer's code and modified to repeat 10 times between the dtime() functions. I am sure that many HPC applications (but not written by FORTRAN) will be faster. I will look into the g77 code to support writable initial allocation. But it is difficult for COMPAQ's Fortran, and I will look for some solution from kernel side. >> > BTW, why 2.4.0-test? kernel crashes on the mount? >> > Is there any solution on the mount problem? >> >> I'm looking into it.

But it is inconvenient to whom debuging a kernel (long fsck or corrupt files when the underway kernel crashes). Thank you, Naohiko Shimizu Dept. Communication Engr./Univ.
