ОПИСАНИЕ
Intel's 2nd Generation Xeon Phi processors, code-named "Knights Landing" or KNL for short, offer longer vector processing units, many cores (64-72 cores per processor), and hyper threading (up to 4 threads per core) ability, providing a theoretical peak floating point performance of several teraflops per node. In addition, they are equipped with high-bandwidth MCDRAM memory that can either be used as a far cache or a fast memory. These features mean that in order to take full advantage of KNL's computing horsepower, applications need to be refactored or optimized accordingly.
