A first wave of benchmarks and real-world application runs on Intel’s Knights Landing has hit the shores and while not all the codes will be familiar or widely used, the takeaway of significant performance gains between the new generation and its Xeon Phi predecessor are clear.
As we described earlier this summer, the performance projections Intel released about Knights Landing were spot on and now that researchers are getting devices in their hands, these results will be put to further test. And as detailed previously, there are stark differences between Knights Corner and its bigger, badder successor, Knights Landing.
