update Linpack workload to support AMD systems #408

Closed vermavis closed 3 years ago

vermavis commented 3 years ago

Cb currently uses an Intel optimized linpack version which runs only on Intel based systems. This updates Linpack workload to version 2.3 and it also adds support for running Linpack workload on AMD based systems along with Intel based systems. A new config option: "linpack_version" is added which by default will just run the current linpack version. However, if the user sets it to 2.3 then the updated linpack version will run.

@vermavis I don't see any problem with just defaulting it to the latest 2.3 version. Would that help you?
