An important application for hydrocarbon exploration is simulated on a performance model of a novel Intel architecture. The accuracy of the simulation models is demonstrated by correlating against an existing processor first and then against high-accuracy simulation of the new architecture. The results show that key architectural features of the coming Knights Landing processor will positively impact the performance of the application.
