The LINPACK benchmarkprogram, running on the part of the system that employs 68, 544 CPUs installed on the K computer being configured, recorded the world's top performance of 8.162 petaflops.
To test the system's performance at the configuration stage, the K computer's processing speed was measured by the LINPACK benchmarkprogram, placing it on the 37th TOP500 ranking of the world's fastest supercomputers.
This criticism appears to arise from the fact that the GAO uses a different benchmark for evaluating program maturity than does the Department of Defense.
Six months of intensive work, endless cold calls to find clients, and a high all-or-nothing benchmark of client money to get under management by the end of the program.
