&lt;p&gt;Regarding the free Arm Performance Libraries...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Arm Performance Libraries provides optimized standard core math libraries for high-performance computing applications on Arm processors. This free version of the libraries provides optimized libraries for Arm&amp;reg; Neoverse &amp;nbsp;N1-based Armv8 AArch64 implementations that are compatible with various versions of GCC. You do not require a license for this version of the libraries.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Does the above mean the libraries work exclusively with&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;Arm&amp;reg; Neoverse&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;N1-based Armv8 AArch64 processors?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;I&amp;#39;ve successfully built HPL Linpack with the free Arm Performance Libraries for Ubuntu 16.04+ with GCC-9.3 on my Raspberry Pi 4.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, I get...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;quot;mpirun noticed that process rank 0 with PID 0 on node node9 exited on signal 4 (Illegal instruction).&amp;quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;I&amp;#39;m guessing the libraries use&amp;nbsp;Armv8.2-A instructions, not implements on my Armv8-A Cortex-A72 cores? Or, maybe I&amp;#39;ve missed some compile/link options?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;My HPL Make.armpl file references armpl as follows...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;pre class="ui-code" data-mode="text"&gt;# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
# - Linear Algebra library (BLAS or VSIPL) -----------------------------
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
# LAinc tells the  C  compiler where to find the Linear Algebra  library
# header files,  LAlib  is defined  to be the name of  the library to be 
# used. The variable LAdir is only used for defining LAinc and LAlib.
#
LAdir        = /opt/arm/armpl_20.2_gcc-9.3
LAinc        =
LAlib        = -L$(LAdir)/lib -larmpl -lgfortran -lamath -lm
&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;And after I &amp;quot;export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;/opt/arm/armpl_20.2_gcc-9.3/lib&amp;quot; on a single node, all of the libraries are found, but during running with the illegal instruction.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Best wishes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;John&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I download ARM compile 5.0.1 32 bit Linux, and license file as below&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But I get an &amp;quot;&lt;span&gt;Invalid license file syntax.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;error, that I can not understand how to do.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks&lt;/p&gt;
