| Code (in Alphabetical order) | Description | Segment | Where to download | Install recipe (if needed) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BOPM (Binomial Options Pricing Model) | BOPM is a generalized numerical method used to value options in the quantitative Financial Services industry | Financial Services | BOPM | Follow this recipe to build and run |
| Embree | Collection of high-performance ray tracing kernels developed at Intel | Digital Content Creation | http://embree. github.io | See this recipe for how to demonstrate the rendition of the Crown model on Intel(R) Xeon Phi(tm) Coprocessor |
| GEMM, STREAM, Linpack | GEMM and Linpack both exercise basic dense matrix operations targeting floating point performance on the coprocessor. STREAM is a test of memory bandwidth targeting GDDR memory performance. | Academic | These benchmarks can be obtained when downloading the Intel® MPSS-- these are included in optionally installed performance packages that will put the benchmarks and related documentation into /opt/intel/mic/perf on the 2.x version of the MPSS or /usr/share/micperf if using an MPSS 3.1.* release | Intel® MPSS 2.1 users: Follow guidance from Chapter 5 of the Intel® MPSS Readme on installation and configuration. Intel® MPSS 3.1 users: Follow guidance from Chapter 4 of the MPSS_Users_ Guide on installation and configuration For STREAM, if you prefer to download source yourself, compilation and optimization recipe is here |
| GROMACS for Intel® Xeon Phi™ Coprocessor | GROMACS is a versatile package to perform molecular dynamics, using Newtonian equations of motion. | Chemical Simulations | GROMACS | Follow this recipe to build and run |
| GTC-P (Gyrokinetic Toroidal Code - Princeton) | The gyrokinetic toroidal code (GTC) is a massively parallel, particle-in-cell code for turbulence simulation in support of the burning plasma experiment , the crucial next step in the quest for fusion energy. This is a 2D domain decomposition version of the GTC global gyrokinetic PIC code for studying microturbulent core transport. | Academia | Submit a request for the code here. | Follow instructions here to build and run |
| LAMMPS* for Intel® Xeon Phi™ Coprocessor | Large-scale Atomic/Molecular Massively Parallel Simulator (LAMMPS*) is a classical molecular dynamics code. | Molecular Dynamics | LAMMPS | Follow this recipe to build and run |
| LBS3D | Simulation tools for multiphase flows based on the free energy Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM), important for Computational Fluid Dynamics. The code allows for the simulation of quasi-incompressible two-phase flows, and uses multiphase models that allow for large density ratios. | Manufacturing | mplabs | Follow compilation instructions here (Also reference whitepaper) |
| Mantevo MiniFE | Self-contained, stand-alone mini-application which encapsulates the most significant performance characteristics (generation, assembly, solution) of an implicit finite element method application in C++ code. The physical domain is a three-dimensional box modeled by hexahedral elements (sometimes called "brick" elements). The box is discretized as a structured grid but treated as unstructured. The domain is decomposed for parallel execution using recursive coordinate bisection (RCB). | Academic | mantevo.org> Download | Follow guidance from this MiniFE Case Study to understand what flags/options to use to run MiniFE on host, coprocessor, or both |
| Mathworks* MATLAB* | Interactive software program that performs mathematical computations and visualization | Signal Processing and Communications, Digital Content Creation, Financial Services, Computational Biology | mathworks.com | See This recipe on how to use via the Intel(R) Math Kernel Library Automatic Offload features |
| MPI-HMMER | A version of HMMER, a hidden Markov model for analyzing protein sequences. In this version, two routines, hmmsearch and hmmpfam have been modified to use MPI for parallelism. | Academic | See this recipe for compilation and optimization | |
| Quantum ESPRESSO* for Intel® Xeon Phi™ Coprocessor | Quantum ESPRESSO is an integrated suite of open source computer codes for electronic-structure calculations and materials modeling at the nanoscale. | Materials Modeling | Follow this recipe to build and run | |
| SHOC | The Scalable Heterogeneous Computing Benchmark Suite (SHOC GitHub) may be used for measuring performance and stability of Coprocessor based systems. The benchmark has been ported to support Intel® Xeon Phi™ using offload programming constructs implemented in the Intel® Compiler that is available as part of Intel® Composer XE 2013 package. | Academic | See this recipe for configuration and compilation | |
