2 15 Minutes Two Swim Lanes Intel Phi Roadmap & SKUs Phi in the TOP500 Use Cases Supermicro and Phi Omni-Path

3 GPU or Many Core The Two Swim Lanes Not that Simple Headlines like Intel Declares War on GPUs at Disputed HPC, AI Border and Intel Details AI Hardware Strategy for Post-GPU Age ignore the benefit that this behemoth tussle has for users of High Performance compute and industry in general. Performing complex algorithmic compute, AI and deep learning is no longer the preserve of those with big budgets. Access to small and midsize clusters utilising many core and GPU will enable small business & individuals to drive innovation. At SC16 there were few ground-breaking announcements but what we have seen over the year is the general availability of some of the key new technologies and the GREEN500 has already seen 4 of the TOP 5 systems running NVIDIA Tesla P100 or Intel Xeon Phi.

4 Intel Xeon Phi Product Roadmap

5 An Overview of the Intel Xeon Phi x200 The Top-Bin 7290, 72 Core, delivers 3.46 Peak DP TFLOPS 14 nm, over 8 billion transistors and is the largest Intel Chip ever made There are 36 tiles on the chip that are interconnected by a 2D Mesh Each Tile has 2 Cores + 2 VPU/core & 1MB L2 Cache Each processor has 16 GB MCDRAM (Near Memory) at >400 GB/sec Up to 384GB DDR4 at approx. 90 GB/sec

6 Intel Xeon Phi x200 Processor SKU Stack

7 November 2016 Top500

8 Use Cases Berkley Cori From climate change to material science. Looking for new energy sources. Working on energy efficiency. Studying realistic interfaces in organic photovoltaics. Allowing calculation of 2-5 times larger problems than has been possible prior. Rutgers Caliburn Enabling research in computational and data-enabled science, engineering and medicine, as well social science and humanities projects. Machine Learning, allowing vast amounts of data to be ingested so that the accuracy of the result is improved. The ability to run OpenMPI, MPI and TBB to reduce the timeframes to implement. Common programming model & S/W tools with Xeon processors, enabling efficient app readiness and performance tuning.

9 Wider Use Cases Public Sector Climate & Weather Seismic Processing Life Sciences Financial Services Manufacturing
