This one-day labs course features hands-on exercises on the available programming models and best optimization practices for the Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor and Intel Xeon processor, and on the usage of the Intel software development and diagnostic tools.

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
