Lightning Talks
The Intel eXtreme Performance Users Group (IXPUG) is soliciting proposals for 5-minute “lightning talks” on experiences configuring, using, and benchmarking Knight’s Landing clustering modes and high bandwidth memory (MCDRAM), to be presented at the IXPUG Birds of a Feather at SC16.
The Knight’s Landing architecture and supporting software gives users a number of choices to help their applications achieve enhanced performance. The IXPUG Birds of a Feather at SC16 will focus on user experiences on two related topics: usage of the KNL clustering modes (e.g. quadrant/hemisphere, SNC-4/SNC-2) and MCDRAM usage (e.g. flat vs. cache mode).
We are especially interested in real-world experiences with full applications.
