Table 2 Difference of parallelization among GPU and MIC offload and native implementations (n th is number of MIC threads).

From: Protein-protein docking on hardware accelerators: comparison of GPU and MIC architectures

Target of parallelization

#threads used for one ligand angle

Consumption of accelerator memory

GPU

Each process in one ligand angle

All GPU threads

For only one ligand

MICoffload

Each process in one ligand angle

All MIC threads

For only one ligand

MICnative

Loop of rotational angles of ligand

One MIC thread

For n th ligands
