Toward Parallel Modeling of Solidification Based on the Generalized Finite Difference Method Using Intel Xeon Phi

Modern heterogeneous computing platforms have become powerful HPC solutions, which could be applied for a wide range of applications. In particular, the hybrid platforms equipped with Intel Xeon Phi coprocessors offers performance advantages over conventional homogeneous solutions based on CPUs, while supporting practically the same parallel programming model. However, there is still an open issue how scientific applications can utilize efficiently the hybrid platforms equipped with Intel coprocessors.
