Thanks Otheus for your generous reply.
Its very helpful.
I configured my system and somehow able to get the results from HPL.
I used one website which says "How do I tune my HPL.dat file?" http: //www.advancedclustering. com/faq/how-do-i-tune-my-hpldat-file.html to create the auto generated HPL.dat file.
The parameters which I used are :
Nodes: 5
Cores per Node: 2
Memory per Node (MB): 2048
Block Size (NB): 128
But I don't know whether the parameters which I used are correct or not.
I built a cluster of 5 PC's and all of them are having intel core 2 duo processors. I don't even know what this block size signifies.
Also, is there a way to chaeck the performance of single PC with respect to its individual core? As I am having Core 2 duo PC, I want to check the performance of this PC while its using single core and on the other hand when it uses both cores.
Thanks.

I have one more query.
While going through website http ://hpl-calculator.sourceforge.net/
I came across one more parameter Operations Per Cycle, which by default they used 4. I don't understand how to calculate this value. I googled and there are various terms, flops, mips, instructions per cycle, instructions per second and other things. can you tell me how to calculate this value for core 2 duo processor and i7 processor? As now a days multiple cores are there in PCs this per second calculations are for single core or multiple core?
Thanks again...
