John Dunn Seminar Room, Bldg. 463
Hosted by: Kerstin Kleese van Dam
I will discuss a new structured mesh PDE programming library, Grid, developed with QCD and as an Intel Parallel Computing Centre. This library uses advanced C++11 template mechanisms to obtain faster than Fortran performance on typical operations, delivering as much as 65% of peak performance on modern Intel cores from high level C++ code. Performance and experience from Intel's Knights Landing processor will be presented. The prospects of applying similar technique to unstructure FEM codes is discussed, and an example of CFD given. Finally I discuss some of the Intel - Alan Turing Institute project codesign goals.
