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.
