The course discusses Intel’s Many Integrated Core (MIC) architecture. It covers various programming and optimisation techniques for Intel Xeon Phi coprocessors. We will mainly focus on the KNC version of the chip. The hands-on sessions are done on the Intel Xeon Phi based Salomon system at the IT4Innovations National Supercomputing Center.
The afternoon of the second day will be devoted to a plenum session (see below) with invited talks about Intel Xeon Phi experience on Salomon.
The course is developed within the joint German-Czech project CzeBaCCA, as a follow-up of the course of February 2016. This project's workshop HPC in Atmosphere Modelling and Air Related Environmental Hazards will take place at IT4Innovations directly after this course, on February 9, 2017 - see its web page details.
It is organized as a joined event of the National Supercomputing Center IT4Innovations and the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre, which as a PRACE Advanced Training Centre provides high-level training for the Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe (PRACE).
