I have a simple, easily extendable one at

Thanks!

I told the student I recalled having read recently (at the beginning of this term) about some benchmark in the help mailing list, but we were unable to find it...

Looking for "speed", we would have found it. How embarrassing :-)
Feb 27th... well, I was not too mislead. I miss the old search box :-)

I notice you specify on each test which library could "do the trick" for that test. I like that. Thanks again, I'll use it for comparison in future assignments.

P.S.: any idea why (ATLAS)LAPACK would slow down an (ATLAS or Goto)BLAS-linked Octave? Will I give good or bad marks to this student assignment?
