Study of Xeon Phi Performance of a Molecular Dynamics Proxy Application

This whitepaper studies the execution speed of the Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor when running a molecular dynamics proxy application. We aim to describe how particular code transformations influence the performance of different phases in the application code. Results demonstrate the performance response to code transformations on a single accelerator. The whitepaper will also present weak and strong scaling projections, and evaluate the potential for exascale simulations
