Cut and paste the code in Appendix F into the file
``octtime.m'' and insert your own octave code at the two locations
marked ``Place your own code here'' to compute the MFLOPS rate for
matrix-matrix multiplication and solution of a linear system via LU
decomposition (which requires
operations), the same
computation carried out in lapack.c. Then, start octave, and at the
octave prompt, type ``more off'' so that you can see the output appear
as it is computed, and then type ``octtime'' to execute the octave
program. Compare to the microprocessor clock speed in /proc/cpuinfo!
