Fluid Dynamics with Fortran on Intel Xeon Phi coprocessors

In this demonstration, a Colfax ProEdge™ SXP8400 workstation runs a shallow water flow solver, demonstrating CFD acceleration with Intel Xeon Phi coprocessors. The key feature of this demonstration is that exactly the same source code is used to compile the MPI executables for the Intel Xeon E5-2697 V3 processor and for Intel Xeon Phi 7120A coprocessors. The code is written in Fortran with OpenMP and MPI. For performance results with this code in a MIC-enabled cluster, see companion paper.
