Linpack benchmarking

I would like to run some linpack benchmarks on our cluster to see how
we compare to the computers listed at http://www.top500.org/. I've
browsed around looking for packages to run this benchmark on a
beowulf, but from reading top500's docs, all I found was fortran
source code for the test.  I was wondering if anyone knows of a good
package to run a similar test to what is run for the top500
machines. I know it consists of solving many systems of linear
equations. I don't have MPI installed on our cluster but would be
willing to install it for this benchmark if it is easy. Has anyone run
such a benchmark on their beowulf? Our interconnect is just switched
100mbit, so a program that does not need any/much internode
communication would be best.
