This one-day training features presentations and hands-on exercises 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. 

  • Offload and Native:  "Hello World" to complex, using MPI.
  • Case Study:  All aspects of tuning in the N-body calculation.
  • Optimization I:  Strip-mining for vectorization, parallel reduction.
  • Optimization II:  Loop tiling, thread affinity.
  • Intel Xeon Phi architecture: purpose, organization, prerequisites 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
*Please bring your own laptop to the training; below is a list of the necessary specifications:  
  • Windows (XP or newer), Mac OS X (10.5 or later), or Linux (something from the 21st century)
  • Wired (Ethernet) and wireless (Wi-Fi 802.11g or later) network connectivity
  • Web Browser (any except Microsoft Edge)
  • On Windows: Putty and Pageant (www.putty.org) and WinSCP (www.winscp.net)
  • On Mac OS X and Linux: ssh client
  • Optional: on all operating systems, the free software NoMachine (www.nomachine.com). This is only necessary if you are not comfortable programming in Linux in a text terminal over an SSH connection. System requirements and installation instructions for NoMachine can be found here.
