Why New Intel® Xeon Processors Make Sense for HPC Applications

Through the microarchitecture improvements, increased core counts, and faster memory speeds of the new Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 v4 product family based on the "Broadwell" microarchitecture, you can increase your HPC application performance. You will see significantly improved per-core performance with these just announced Intel(R) Xeon(R) processors that can then be multiplied by parallel programs that utilize the number of cores available inside these processors. Improvements to the memory and virtual memory capabilities - including the ability to utilize faster DDR4-2400 memory - means that these processors can speed all aspects of your application from IO DMA operations, to processing serial sections of code, as well as delivering increased performance on both task- and data-parallel applications.
