  • In this white paper we report our experiences in porting the stellar atmosphere simulation code Bifrost to Intel Xeon Phi - Knights Landing Architecture (KNL). Bifrost is a parallel, Fortran 95/MPI code for solving the 3D radiation magnetohydrodynamic (RMHD) equations on a staggered grid using a high order compact finite difference scheme. The focus is on finding the most performant runtime setup and estimate possible performance gain when compared with Intel Haswell based nodes.
