MARC Program Status and Essentials to Programming the Intel® Xeon® Phi™Coprocessor(based on Intel®Many IntegratedCore Architecture) Jim Jeffers Principal Engineer Technical Computing Group Intel® Corporation
MARC Program Achievements The Many-Core Application Research Community Program has exceeded Intel’s expectations with broad participation, many contributions and research results • The world-wide research community enhanced our understanding of many-core architecture and usage • 100+ Institutions, 150+ research projects and 100s of participants • Software research with SCC included Barrelfish, X10, Bare Metal, SW Managed Coherence, Comm libraries, Message Passing Interfaces, OpenMP and more! • Numerous events hosted and well over 80 papers published • More than a dozen institutions created active SCC-based curriculum

MARC Program Transition • Many core Intel® Xeon Phi™ Products are launched and gaining increasing use • #1 SuperComputer on Top500 -> Milkway-2 (Tianhe-2) • Includes 48,000 Intel Xeon Phi Coprocessors! • #6 TACC Stampede • Includes 6800+ Intel Xeon Phi Coprocessors • MARC program advanced community knowledge and prepped many engineers and scientists for today’s “many core era” • What was the future has become reality! • So as planned Intel will end active MARC and SCC support in December 2013
Technical Computing: Transforming Information & Data Driven Science Into Knowledge This decade we will create and extend computing technology to connect and enrich the lives of every person on earth Other brands, names, and images are the property of their respective owners.
Technical Computing Continues Its Rapid GrowthTo Compete, You Must Compute Governments & Research Commercial/Industrial New Users – New Uses From Diagnosis to personalized treatmentsquickly Better Products “My goal is simple. It is complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all” Stephen Hawking Faster Time to Market Reduced R&D ClinicalInformation Genomics Fundamental Discovery to Gain Fundamental Insights Big Data Analytics Enabling Data Driven Science Business Transformation Transforming the world of data & information into insight & knowledge Source: IDC: Worldwide Technical Computing Server 2013–2017 Forecast; Other brands, names, and images are the property of their respective owners.
Enabling Capability & Accessibility Supercomputing Example Top 500* (1997 – 2012) 1500XPerformance 100XReduction in cost per FLOP 4XPower Increase Strong gains, but many applications use a fraction of the capability – limiting discovery & wasting power Source: Intel Analysis / Top500
