High Performance Applications on Intel Xeon Phi Cluster
Kačurik, Tomáš ; Hrbáček, Radek (referee) ; Jaroš, Jiří (advisor)
The main topic of this thesis is the implementation and subsequent optimization of high performance applications on a cluster of Intel Xeon Phi coprocessors. Using two approaches to solve the N-Body problem, the possibilities of the program execution on a cluster of processors, coprocessors or both device types have been demonstrated. Two particular versions of the N-Body problem have been chosen - the naive and Barnes-hut. Both problems have been implemented and optimized. For better comparison of the achieved results, we only considered achieved acceleration against single node runs using processors only. In the case of the naive version a 15-fold increase has been achieved when using combination of processors and coprocessors on 8 computational nodes. The performance in this case was 9 TFLOP/s. Based on the obtained results we concluded the advantages and disadvantages of the program execution in the distributed environments using processors, coprocessors or both.

Assisted Code Vectorization and Parallelization Using the OpenMP 4.0 Standard
Slouka, Lukáš ; Nikl, Vojtěch (referee) ; Jaroš, Jiří (advisor)
The subject of the bachelor's thesis is code optimization using the OpenMP 4.0 standard which provides tools for assisted parallelization and vectorization. In addition to the descrip tion of the OpenMP 4.0 standard, the thesis as well contains an insight into architectures of modern computers, specifically the system of cache memories and SSE/AVX modules that play a major role in the optimization field. The thesis demonstrates advantages of optimized code compared to unoptimized version on a set of benchmarks which are aimed at various aspects of optimization.
