This one-day training will provide software developers the foundation needed for modernizing their code to take advantage of parallel architectures found in both the Intel® Xeon® processor and the Intel® Xeon Phi™ coprocessor.

The session will cover:

  • An overview of parallel programming frameworks and optimization guidelines for multi-core CPUs (Intel® Xeon®) and many-core coprocessors (Intel® Xeon Phi™)
  • Discussions about three layers of parallelism: SIMD, Threads, Cluster environment
  • Tips for quick porting/development of HPC software applications
  • Real-life examples of code and optimization techniques
  • Hardware solution and corresponding software implementations, APIs, and framework
