Travel instructions can be found here.
Attendees affiliated with DoE or UC do not need a shuttle pass. Just show your DoE/UC identification and let the driver know you are attending a workshop at Building 54 (Dining Hall).

This one-day training will provide software developers the foundation needed for modernizing their code to take advantage of parallel architectures found in both Intel® Xeon® processors and Intel® Xeon Phi™ coprocessors, which are available to Lab researchers and collaborators on the LBNL Lawrencium Cluster.

The session will cover:

  • Intel Xeon Phi architecture: purpose, organization, pre-requisites for good performance, future technology
  • Programming models: native, offload, heterogeneous clustering
  • Parallel frameworks: automatic vectorization, OpenMP, MPI
  • Optimization methods: general, scalar math, vectorization, multithreading, memory access, communication and special topics
