Advanced Tools to Develop Code for Intel® Xeon® Processors Today, Easily Extends to Intel® MIC

Architecture

“By just utilizing standard programming on both Intel® Xeon processor and Intel® MIC architecture based platforms, the performance met multi-threading scalability expectations and we observed near-theoretical linear performance scaling with the number of threads.” – Hongsuk Yi,

Heterogeneous Computing Team

Leader, KISTI Supercomputing Center

“SGI understands the significance of inter-processor communications, power, density and usability when architecting for exascale. Intel has made the leap towards exaflop computing with the introduction of Intel® Many Integrated Core (MIC) architecture. Future Intel® MIC products will satisfy all four of these priorities, especially with their expected ten times increase in compute density coupled with their familiar X86 programming environment.” –Dr. Eng Lim Goh, SGI CTO

ISV Guidance: Tools for ParallelismApp Tool Description

Distributed MPI • Multi-fabric message passing library used for making applications perform better on IA-based clusters.

Fortran OpenMP • Need high level abstractions (instead of low level native threads) • Look to use traditional execution patterns and utilize standards

C Intel CilkTM

Plus• Language extensions for task and data parallelism• Simple yet powerful compiler based solution with a lower overhead

OpenMP • Need high level abstractions (instead of low level native threads) • Look to use traditional execution patterns and utilize standards

OpenCL • Use specifically when heterogeneous support is required (CPU+GEN/NVIDIA/ATI support)• Need low level control/API and interoperability w/ OpenGL and DX• Requires deep expertise and advanced knowledge

C++ Intel CilkTM

Plus• Language extensions for task and data parallelism. • Simple yet powerful compiler based solution with a lower overhead

PBB (TBB) • Widely used C++ template library for task parallelism.• Contains a rich feature set for general purpose parallelism

OpenCL • Can be used in API level, but kernel needs to be implemented in C

Although most tools can be used for multiple languages, Intel recommendations are listed above.

Select from a variety of powerful tools to aid parallelism
