“Xeon E5-2697 v2” = Intel® Xeon® processor E5-2697 v2
“Xeon Phi 7120A” = Intel® Xeon Phi coprocessor 7120A
1.49X
Application: Non-Hydrostatic Icosahedral Model
(NOAA NIM Dynamic Core*). NIM is available from the
NOAA Earth Systems Research Lab.
Description: Next generation model that is being
evaluated across CPU, GPU and MIC and focused on
next generation high resolution weather (especially
severe storm) forecasting. Benchmark is “Dynamic”
core of the NOAA NIM weather simulator. More at

2012/nim.
Availability:
• Code: Contact NOAA/ESRL
• Recipe: Available here.
Usage Model: Release 1598 with the G5 workload. G5
resolution; K96 configuration. Symmetric processing
with Intel® Xeon® processor E5-2697 v2 (host) and
Intel® Xeon Phi coprocessor 7120A.
Results: Symmetric process demonstrated up to
1.49X improved performance over the baseline Intel®
Xeon® processor E5-2697 v2.

Software and workloads used in performance tests may have been optimized for performance only on Intel microprocessors. Performance tests, such as SYSmark and MobileMark, are measured using specific computer systems,
components, software, operations and functions. Any change to any of those factors may cause the results to vary. You should consult other information and performance tests to assist you in fully evaluating your contemplated
purchases, including the performance of that product when combined with other products. For more information go to http://www.intel.com/performance *Other names and brands may be claimed as the property of others
