Faster Route to Insights with Hardware and Visualization Advances from Intel

An eye-popping visualization of two black holes colliding demonstrates 3D Adaptive Mesh Refinement volume rendering on next-generation Intel(R) Xeon Phia processors. "It simplifies things when you can run on a single processor and not have to offload the visualization work," says Juha Jiykki, system manager of the COSMOS supercomputer. Dr. Jiykki holds a doctorate in theoretical physics and also serves as a scientific consultant to the system's users. "Programming is easier. The Intel Xeon Phi processor architecture is the next step for getting more performance and more power efficiency, and it is refreshingly convenient to use."
