SPM 2015/16 Support material

• the “SPM course notes” by M. Danelutto PDF that can be found here (Version of Sept 2014, A4 size) and here (Version of Sept 2014, EPUB size) . Updates and additional material will be made available during the lessons and PDF links will included on this page, in case.

I suggest consulting also these books, available as ebooks from major electronic book stores and in paper copy:

• “Structured Parallel Programming (Patterns for Efficient Computation)” by M. McCool, A. D. Robinson, J. Reinders, Morgan Kaupfmann 2012 (preview available at this link).

We suggest to use:

• g++ version 4.7 or higher (OMP 4.0 requires 4.8)

We prepared a page with all the material relative to Skandium here

Instructions to access the Xeon PHI can be found on this page. Additional material on Xeon PHI and on Intel development tools may be found at:

• Xeon PHI microarchitecture
• icc compiler documentation
• Intel vtune documentation
• Debugger instructions (MIC)
• Autovectorization guide Intel

This page hosts the code shown during lessons. Part of the code contains errors explicitly introduced to discuss particular arguments.
