Hi Ryan,
Perri is in the process of writing a paper to describe the Xeon Phi work and will then put together a webpage on it which will have performance numbers etc. For now you get roughly about a 10 to 15% boost in performance, for >400K atoms, by adding a Xeon Phi to a couple of 8 core CPUs.
All the best
Ross
