This paper compares the performance of parallel computation on two types of many-core processors, Tesla K20c GPU and Xeon Phi 5110P, in solving the quadratic assignment problem (QAP) with ant colony optimization (ACO). The results show that the performance on Xeon Phi 5110P is not so promising compared to the Tesla K20c GPU on these problems. Further efficient implementation methods must be investigated for Xeon Phi.
