Abstract of CINCOMP4 Project

The explicit aim of the project is to provide support to EUROfusion scientists using the Marconi-Fusion supercomputer at CINECA. One focus is on the provision of advanced help for the use of the accelerator-based system consisting of Intel Xeon Phi Knights Landing (KNL) processors. In particular, support for porting and tuning European codes is foreseen. In addition, the hardware and the software of the Intel Skylake partition will be tested by a variety of benchmarks. Especially, the reason for the large variance of the execution time of applications, which is typically around 30 % on Skylake, has to be investigated further.
