Support of Intel Xeon Phi ?

[Polar01]

Hi,

Is there some plan to support Intel Xeon Phi with OpenCL ?

If yes, is there some way for companies/partners etc... to test their application with it ? At least for profiling and debugging ?

BTW, I would like to know if there are some performance strategies to optimize memory accesses when using 50 cores... what's happen it all the cores request the same information etc... ?

Thanks

Hi, Yes, OpenCL will be supported on Intel Xeon Phi, Here is one example of a product that will use OpenCL on Intel Xeon Phi: AccelerEyes Adds Support for Xeon Phi We will soon communicate more information. Nevertheless, we invite developers to visit Intel booth #2617 at the upcoming SC'12 conference in Salt Lake City and learn more about programming to Intel Xeon Phi. Regards, - Arnon
