4. COPROCESSOR ( 协处理器 ) A coprocessor is a computer processor used to supplement the functions of the primary processor (the CPU). Operations performed by the coprocessor may be floating point arithmetic, graphics, signal processing, string processing, encryption or I/O Interfacing with peripheral devices. Math coprocessor – a computer chip that handles the floating point operations and mathematical computations in a computer. Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) – a separate card that handles graphics rendering and can improve performance in graphics intensive applications, like games. Secure crypto-processor – a dedicated computer on a chip or microprocessor for carrying out cryptographic operations, embedded in a packaging with multiple physical security measures, which give it a degree of tamper resistance Network coprocessor. 网络协处理器. ……..

11. Programing Paradigm The Xeon Phi programming model and its optimization are shared across the Intel Xeon CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture) – a parallel computing platform and programming model. CUDA provides developers access to the virtual instruction set and memory of the parallel computational elements in CUDA GPUs. Made Easier Don’t Complicated

12. Keynotes This is a new era of hybrid computing – heterogeneous architecture with PCI-E based coprocessor Specialized (or application-optimized) design is required for GPU/MIC applications and HPC future scalability There are more to come in the industry roadmap with new technologies, power management and system architecture Configurable cooling & power for energy efficiency and performance are more and more critical The trend towards heterogeneous architecture poses many challenges for system builder and software developers in making efficient use of the resources Programming paradigm and its investment are important as a part of the selecting consideration
