ENTIRE WEEK SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY

Xeon Phi Users Group: Performance Tuning and Functional Debugging for Xeon Phi

SESSION: Xeon Phi Users Group: Performance Tuning and Functional Debugging for Xeon Phi

EVENT TYPE: Birds of a Feather

TIME: 5:30PM - 7:00PM

SESSION LEADER(S):Richard Gerber, Kent Milfeld, Chris Gottbrath

ROOM:286-87

ABSTRACT:

This BOF will build community among those developing HPC applications for systems incorporating the Intel Xeon Phi many-core processor. Taking advantage of the processor’s full capabilities requires tuning and optimizing using programming techniques and tools targeted at a combination of CPUs and the Xeon Phi Coprocessor. Threading, vectorization, memory contiguity and alignment, and data locality may be important for performance.

This BOF will combine a few brief presentations sharing insights and best practices with a moderated discussion among all those in attendance. It will close with an invitation to an ongoing discussion through the Intel Xeon Phi Users Group (IXPUG).
