ABSTRACT:

This BoF continues the history of community building among those developing HPC applications for systems incorporating the Intel Xeon Phi many-integrated core (MIC) processor. The next-generation Intel MIC processor code-named Knights Landing introduces innovative features which expand the parameter space for optimizations. The BoF will address these challenges together with general aspects as threading, vectorization, and memory tuning.

The BoF will start with Lightning Talks that share key insights and best practices, followed by a moderated discussion among all attendees. It will close with an invitation to an ongoing discussion through the Intel Xeon Phi Users Group (IXPUG).
