Simulating Nonlinear Neutrino Oscillations on Next-Generation Many-Core Architectures
Presented by Vahid Noormofidi B.S., Computer Science, Amirkabir University of Technology (Tehran Polytechnic), 2006 M.S., Computer Science, University of Tehran, 2008 Ph.D., Computer Engineering, University of New Mexico, 2015
In this work an astrophysical simulation code, XFLAT, is developed to study neutrino oscillations in supernovae. XFLAT is designed to utilize multiple levels of parallelism through MPI, OpenMP, and SIMD instructions (vectorization). It can run on both the CPU and the Xeon Phi co-processor, the latter of which is based on the Intel Many Integrated Core Architecture (MIC). The performance of XFLAT on con gurations and scenarios has been analyzed. In addition, the impact of I/O and the multi-node con guration on the Xeon Phi-equipped heterogeneous supercomputers such as Stampede at the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) was investigated.
