*XSEDE Training: Optimize Your Code for the Intel XEON Phi*

January 24, 2014 (Friday)
9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (CT)
ROC 1.900

Texas Advanced Computing Center
J.J. Pickle Research Campus
10100 Burnet Rd.
Austin, TX 78758

*You may attend this class in person or via webcast.*

This class is intended for intermediate to advanced users of Stampede. 
Attendees are expected to be able to program using MPI and OpenMP.

The Innovative Technology component of the XSEDE Stampede supercomputer 
at TACC provides access to 8 PetaFlops of computing power in the form of 
the Intel Xeon Phi Coprocessor, also known as MIC. While the MIC is x86 
based, hosts its own Linux OS, and is capable of running most user codes 
with little porting effort, the MIC architecture has significant 
features that are different from that of present x86 CPUs, and optimal 
performance requires an understanding of the possible execution models 
and basic details of the architecture. This workshop is designed to 
introduce Stampede users to the MIC architecture in a practical manner. 
Multiple lectures and hands-on exercises will be used to get the user 
acquainted with the MIC platform and explore the different execution 
modes as well as parallelization and optimization through example 
testing and reports. Users are also welcome to bring their own codes to 
compile for MIC.

The workshop will be divided in four sections: Introduction to the MIC 
architecture; native execution and optimization; offload execution; and 
symmetric execution. In each section the users will spend half the time 
doing guided hands-on exercises.

The exercises will be available for remote users. However, we will not 
be able to assist remote users with problems during the exercises.
