Where to find detailed code examples for offload in Fortran under both Linux and Windows?

Hi,

I must congratulate Intel and closely linked companies for a massive and detailed information on how to introduce parallellization in computation-heave codes!  I also happened to win a sample of the Jeffers and Reinders book, which I found excellent due the step-by-step approach and detailed descriptions. I was convinced to invest in a new workstation with 4 Xeon Phi cards and also understood that MPI and the offload model was the right way for me.

I agree with the comment by Bruce Weaver dated 04/05/2013 that detailed examples of various implementations with Fortran will save persons that are building models of e.g. physical phenomena and lack deep insights in the system anatomy of MIC a lot of time.

I personally will now restructure my code in Fortran using MPI and the offload model primarily under Windows 7 Ultimate. I will however also do this under Linux as I am not totally convinced that Windows will work. The reason why Windows is important is the heavy use of graphics (QuickWin) in order to supervise the computations at various levels of the code. This use of graphics has turned out to be extremely effective in trouble shooting.

I now wonder if there are any detailed descriptions of MPI on the host and offload to the MIC for Fortran under Windows and/or Linux. The code examples must be a  liitle more realistic than the Hello World examples.

Best regards

Anders S
