The fast introduction of the Intel CoreTM2 Duo and Quad processors to the mass market has drawn attention to threadization (a.k.a. parallelization) and vectorization of the existing code in many application domains. In fact, multi-core processor vendors are eager to enable their users to exploit various levels of parallelism in order to harness the additional compute resources of multi-core pro...

The multidimensional positive definite advection transport algorithm (MPDATA) belongs to the group of nonoscillatory forward-in-time algorithms, and performs a sequence of stencil computations. MPDATA is one of the major parts of the dynamic core of the EULAG geophysical model. The Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor is the first product based on the Intel Many Integrated Core (Intel MIC) architecture. ...

Using interferometric radar data collected by the COSMO-SkyMed* earth observation satellite system, e-GEOS analyzes millimetric deformations in the earth’s surface due to landslides, subsidence, earthquakes, and volcanic phenomena. Processing this vast amount of data, sometimes against the clock in the case of emergency situations, requires huge amounts of computing power. To meet this challeng...

Memory-safety violations are a prevalent cause of both reliability and security vulnerabilities in systems software written in unsafe languages like C/C++. Unfortunately, all the existing software-based solutions to this problem exhibit high performance overheads preventing them from wide adoption in production runs. To address this issue, Intel recently released a new ISA extension—Memory Prot...
