This one-day seminar features presentations on the available programming models and best optimization practices for the Intel Xeon Phi coprocessors, and on the usage of the Intel software development and diagnostic tools. CDT 101 is a pre-requisite for the hands-on labs (CDT 102).
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
