Commodity symmetric multiprocessors (SMPs), though originally intended for transaction processing, because of their availability, are now used for numerical analysis applications in SMP clusters. Dense matrix multiplication is a suitable benchmark as it exposes memory access issues. Various block-based algorithms are compared across Windows 2000 and Linux variants with gcc compiler versions. Differences in compilers may explain differential performance between algorithms.
