Description
Poster describing the work of the Intel Parallel Computing Centre associated with the COSMOS@DiRAC SMP Facility hosted in Cambridge. This describes the unique hybrid architecture of the COSMOS system, including shared-memory capabilities and accelerators (Xenon Phi) and radical optimisations that have been undertaken for new many-core processors. Highlights include refactoring of the Modal Planck pipeline (evaluating higher-order correlators in the Planck CMB data) which has been the subject of several publications and the HPCwire award at SC ’15 for Best HPDA application. Ongoing work with Intel on highly parallel in-situ visualisation is also summarised.
