SCIF user-mode documentation?

CFR — Tue, 04 Feb 2014 20:02:56 GMT

Does anyone have a line on the SCIF user-mode documentation referred to in table 1-2 of the "Intel Xeon Phi System Software Developer's Guide" (SKU# 328207-002EN June, 2013)? Supposedly there's a document titled "Intel® MIC SCIF API Reference Manual for User Mode Linux*" but I've been unable to locate it anywhere.

There is a Intel SCIF user

There is a Intel SCIF user guide that is distributed with the MPSS. You can find it at : http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-manycore-platform-software-stack-mpss

I noticed that even the user guide mentions a SCIF API Reference Manual for User Mode Linux. I haven't been able to locate this file yet. I'll look some more and get back to you with a definitive answer.

Hi Craig,

I asked around and found that the SCIF API Reference manual is no longer distributed with the MPSS. However, the reference manual was generated using /usr/include/scif.h. You should be able to find descriptions of the APIs in the scif.h file.

I hope this helps.
