Summary
The Intel® Xeon Phi™ coprocessors are representatives of Intel’s Many Integrated
Core (MIC) architecture and represent one of the possibilities how to accelerate scientific
or engineering codes. There are several runtimes enabling a computation to
be offloaded to the coprocessor. In this paper we compare the Intel Language Extension
for Offload (LEO) and several approaches utilizing the Hetero Streams Library
(hStreams). As a benchmark we use the dense matrix-vector multiplication since it
is a crucial part of our method for acceleration of the HTFETI domain decomposition
solver Espreso. We provide an overview of the approaches and present results of
numerical experiments.
