In this paper, a team of engineers from the Intel Non-Volatile Memory Solutions Group presents an approach to explore improving the architecture of solid-state drives (SSDs). This explorative approach is based on models captured using Intel® CoFluentTM Studio. The team’s goal was to identify how best to use a model-based approach to optimize the performance and cost of next generation Intel® So...

In this paper, a team of Intel networking engineers presents a flow used to design and validate the microarchitecture of a new packet-processing module for Intel® chipsets, based on models captured using Intel® CoFluentTM Studio (CoFluentTM). With this design and validation flow, the team created an executable specification of the new packet processing module. The team first validated the funct...

Porting of the parallel Fortran preprocessor, Pfortran, to Intel Corporation and IBM Corporation massively parallel processor machines is presented. The machines include the Intel iPSC/SSO, the Caltech Intel DELTA, the Intel Paragon, and the IBM SPl. The UHGROMOS molecular dynamics program, a version of GROMOS ported to parallel machines through the use of Pfortran, was used as a test applicati...

Intel R © Xeon Phi TM coprocessors are capable of delivering more performance and better energy efficiency than Intel R © Xeon R © processors for certain parallel applications. In this paper, we investigate the porting and optimization of a test problem for the Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor. The test problem is a basic N-body simulation, which is the foundation of a number of applications in compu...
