In order to take advantage of the Intel Xeon Phi Co-Processors, we identified code hotspots from the host processors and then increased the speed by implementing OpenMP on parallel work. We then worked to offload the threaded work on the Xeon-Phis in order to identify speed up in comparison to previous test.
