Introduction
This document will help developers get started writing code and running applications on a system running Windows and that includes the Intel® Xeon Phi™ coprocessor based on the Intel® Many Integrated Core Architecture (Intel® MIC Architecture). It describes the available tools and includes simple examples to show how to get C/C++ and Fortran-based programs up and running. For now, the developer will have to cut/paste the examples provided in the document to their system.
Note that there is a general document “Intel Xeon Phi Coprocessor Developer’s Quick Start Guide” at http://software.intel.com/mic-developer under the“Getting Started”tab which is the official document for use with host systems running Linux*; this document is for customers who are early testers for Windows on the host. More information on this early enabling program can be found here
Goals
This document does:
- Walk you through the system registration and Intel® MPSS installation.
- Introduce the build environment for Intel MIC Architecture software.
- Give an example of how to write code for Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor and build using Intel® Composer XE for Windows.
- Demonstrate the use of Intel libraries like the Intel® Math Kernel Library (Intel® MKL).
- Point you to information on how to debug and profile programs running on an Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor.
- Share some best known methods (BKMs) developed by users at Intel.
- Cover each tool in detail. Please refer to the user guides for the individual tools.
This document does not:
Provide in-depth training.
