The benchmark was run on a single KNL7210 processor (256 cores) set to quadrant mode and using the MCDRAM as cache. The environment variable OMP_PROC_BIND was set to false (if this is not done, the scheduler seems to put all threads on one core). XDS was compiled with the -xMIC-AVX512 option of ifort. These benchmarks were performed with "warm" operating system cache, which means that the first run of a given type didn't count because it had to read all data from disk.

Deviating from the Xeon benchmark setup (above), BACKGROUND_RANGE was set to a more realistic value of 1 50 (instead of 1 9). The INIT numbers are therefore not comparable.
