Wanna, supercomputers are ALWAYS advertised in terms of theoretical peak Gflops. And just about any program with an equal number of multiplies and adds, and where the dataset fits in the L1 cache (64K for data), should run at Athlon's full theoretical rate.

For many algorithms in matrix algebra the key mathematical operation is the vector to vector dot product, and this fits the multiply, add, multiply, add... model perfectly.

Maybe I'll try some autocorrelation functions on randomly generated data tonight. (Another dot-product algorithm.)
