A new paper by Dr Sparsh Mittal surveys techniques for evaluating and optimizing Intel's Xeon Phi. Now accepted in Concurrency and Computation 2020, the survey reviews nearly 100 papers. "Intel Xeon Phi combines the parallel processing power of a many-core accelerator with the programming ease of CPUs. Phi has powered many supercomputers, e.g., in June 2018 list of Top500 supercomputers, 19 supercomputers used Phi as the main processing unit. This paper surveys works that study the architecture of Phi and use it as an accelerator for various applications. It critically examines the performance bottlenecks and optimization strategies for Phi. For example, the main motivation and justification for development of Phi was ease of programming."
