Snapify: capturing snapshots of offload applications on Xeon Phi manycore processors

In Proceedings of the 23nd international symposium on High-performance parallel and distributed computing (HPDC ’14). ACM, New York, NY, USA, 1-12. Intel Xeon Phi coprocessors provide excellent performance acceleration for highly parallel applications and have been deployed in several top-ranking supercomputers. One popular approach of programming the Xeon Phi is the offload model, where parallel … Continue reading Snapify: capturing snapshots of offload applications on Xeon Phi manycore processors

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
