Abstract:  
This poster presents the optimization work carried out on a Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) code Phantom on Haswell and KNL. With 8 steps of optimization, the performance results show 3x speedup on Haswell and 4x on KNL. A few remarks are provided to highlight the differences on KNL in terms of architecture and optimization strategy. This work will also serve as an example of optimizing other codes, such as those in molecular dynamics, computer graphics and neural networks that also deal with kd-tree, neighbour search, irregular computation and random memory accesses.
