In this document we describe the activities carried out by the COKA project in 2013 and involving CNAF. In short, we continued to investigate the performance of production-grade MIC-based accelerator boards, released by Intel at the beginning of 2013 under the name XeonPhi. We first used Xeon-Phi systems available at external computing centers, but we finally managed, as members of the Intel MIC development program, to have one such board directly from Intel. That board was later integrated in a more general facility to experiment with computing co-processors.

Abstract
In this document we describe the activities carried out by the COKA project in 2013 and involving CNAF. In short, we continued to investigate the performance of production-grade MIC-based accelerator boards, released by Intel at the beginning of 2013 under the name XeonPhi. We first used Xeon-Phi systems available at external computing centers, but we finally managed, as members of the Intel MIC development program, to have one such board directly from Intel. That board was later integrated in a more general facility to experiment with computing co-processors.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
