COSMIC: middleware for high performance and reliable multiprocessing on Xeon Phi coprocessors
In Proceedings of the 22nd international symposium on High-performance parallel and distributed computing (HPDC ’13). ACM, New York, NY, USA, 215-226. It is remarkably easy to offload processing to Intel’s newest manycore coprocessor, the Xeon Phi: it supports a popular ISA (x86-based), a popular OS (Linux) and a popular programming model (OpenMP). Easy portability is … Continue reading COSMIC: middleware for high performance and reliable multiprocessing on Xeon Phi coprocessors
