Hello Eloisa,

sorry for the delay in the reply. For the records I did manage to compile and 
run ET on KNL (stampede), but I did not manage to run any benchmark with it 
yet. The current status is:

        * intel-17: the compiler fails to compile Carpet and either gives an 
internal error or segfaults.
        * gcc-6.3: used to compile and run with Erik's spack installation (it 
is currently broken). I did not really manage to benchmark it since even a 
low-resolution TOV test did not run to completion (meaning less than 4 coarse 
grid steps) within 30 minutes on 4 nodes.

This was using the current stable release of the ET (2016-11) and WhiskyTHC. 
You might have more luck with GRHydro / pure-vacuum runs.

Best wishes,

David
