Description

In this talk our developers will present three tools developed at IT4Innovations which support the Intel Xeon Phi accelerators installed at the Salomon supercomputer. ESPRESO library is a FEM package which uses the Xeon Phi to accelerate the linear FETI solver. ESPRESO contains new algorithms which can take advantage of the fast KNC memory to speed up the calculations. BEM4I library is a library of parallel boundary element based solvers which contains efficient vectorization techniques to fully utilize the potential of the KNC architecture and its vector units. Finally, BLENDER is an open source 3D modeling tool which contains its own Cycles render based on path tracing algorithm. We will present our new CyclesPhi renderer which adds multi-node parallelization and Xeon Phi acceleration into the original implementation.
