Floating point benchmark?

Question

I've found nbench which runs on Linux but it doesn't generate a measurement in terms of flops (i.e. floating point operations per second). I've also found sysbench, but that doesn't provide floating point measurement.

Is there a recent benchmark that allows for measurement of floating point operations? Single and multi-threaded?

Use Linpack! Run xlinpack_xeon64 in the /benchmarks/linpack directory of this archive!
