Accelerating gravitational microlensing simulations using the Xeon Phi coprocessor
Recently Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) have been used to speed up very CPU-intensive gravitational microlensing simulations. In this work, we use the Xeon Phi coprocessor to accelerate such simulations and compare its performance on a microlensing code with that of NVIDIA’s GPUs. For the selected set of parameters evaluated in our experiment, we find that the speedup by Intel’s Knights Corne...
متن کاملAccelerating Electron Tomography Reconstruction Algorithm ICON Using the Intel Xeon Phi Coprocessor on Tianhe-2 Supercomputer
Electron tomography (ET) is an important method for studying three-dimensional cell ultrastructure. Combining with a subvolume averaging approach, ET provides new possibilities for investigating in situ macromolecular complexes in sub-nanometer resolution. Because of the limited sampling angles, ET reconstruction usually suffers from the ‘missing wedge’ problem. With a validation procedure, Ite...
متن کاملFast computation of computer-generated hologram using Xeon Phi coprocessor
We report fast computation of computer-generated holograms (CGHs) using Xeon Phi coprocessors, which have massively x86-based processors on one chip, recently released by Intel. CGHs can generate arbitrary light wavefronts, and therefore, are promising technology for many applications: for example, three-dimensional displays, diffractive optical elements, and the generation of arbitrary beams. ...
متن کاملOffload Compiler Runtime for the Intel® Xeon Phi Coprocessor
The Intel® Xeon PhiTM coprocessor platform enables offload of computation from a host processor to a coprocessor that is a fully-functional Intel® Architecture CPU. This paper presents the C/C++ and Fortran compiler offload runtime for that coprocessor. The paper addresses why offload to a coprocessor is useful, how it is specified, and what the conditions for the profitability of offload are. ...
متن کاملAccelerating DNA Sequence Analysis using Intel Xeon Phi
Genetic information is increasing exponentially, doubling every 18 months. Analyzing this information within a reasonable amount of time requires parallel computing resources. While considerable research has addressed DNA analysis using GPUs, so far not much attention has been paid to the Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor. In this paper we present an algorithm for large-scale DNA analysis that exploit...
