Intel Unveils New Product Plans for High-Performance Computing

Intel Many Integrated Core chips to extend the company’s role in accelerating science and discovery.

During the International Supercomputing Conference (ISC), Intel Corporation announced plans to deliver new products based on the Intel Many Integrated Core (MIC) architecture that will create platforms running at trillions of calculations per second, while also retaining the benefits of standard Intel processors.

Targeting high-performance computing segments such as exploration, scientific research and financial or climate simulation, the first product, codenamed “Knights Corner,” will be made on Intel’s 22-nanometer manufacturing (nm) process – using transistor structures as small as 22 billionths of a meter – and will use Moore’s Law to scale to more than 50 Intel processing cores on a single chip. While the vast majority of workloads will still run best on Intel Xeon processors, Intel MIC architecture will help accelerate select highly parallel applications.

Industry design and development kits codenamed “Knights Ferry” are currently shipping to select developers, and beginning in the second half of 2010, Intel will expand the program to deliver an extensive range of developer tools for Intel MIC architecture. Common Intel software tools and optimization techniques between Intel MIC architecture and Intel Xeon processors will support diverse programming models that will place performance in the hands of scientists, researchers, and engineers, enabling them to increase their pace of discovery and preserve their existing software investments. The Intel MIC architecture is derived from several Intel projects, including “Larrabee” and such Intel Labs research projects as the Single-chip Cloud Computer.

“The CERN openlab team was able to migrate a complex C? parallel benchmark to the Intel MIC software development platform in just a few days,” says Sverre Jarp, CTO of CERN openlab. “The familiar hardware programming model allowed us to get the software running much faster than expected.”

“Intel’s Xeon processors, and now our new Intel Many Integrated Core architecture products, will further push the boundaries of science and discovery as Intel accelerates solutions to some of humanity’s most challenging problems,” says Kirk Skaugen, vice president and general manager of Intel’s Data Center Group. “The Intel MIC architecture will extend Intel’s leading HPC products and solutions that are already in nearly 82 percent of the world’s top supercomputers. Today’s investments are indicative of Intel’s growing commitment to the global HPC community.”
