Hello,

I want to measure the performance for the cholesky decomposition using dpotrf using C.
Can anyone tell me how can I calculate the flops for dpotrf. Or atleast how many flops are required for one dpotrf call.

Flops can be found on LAWN 41 page 120
Here is the link: http://www.netlib.org/lapack/lawnspdf/lawn41.pdf

From the document flops are:
1/3 n^3 + 1/2 n^2 + 1/6n

Hope it helps
Julie
