Intel® Xeon Phi™ Coprocessor - ROADMAPS and Cluster BKMs

[BelindaLiviero]

Attached to this thread is a PDF containing :

 - Guidance/communication on recent changes (and things Intel is considering) to make Cluster administration more straightforward

-  Calls out some tips and tricks which may be useful (especially with the latest MPSS release) 

- MPSS roadmaps (not cluster specific, general for all):   release cadence, OS support, OFED roadmaps, and features planned for MPSS 3.3

If you have feedback or concerns (on OS support, etc.), please let us know!

We are also trying to identify the best way to collaborate with those of you who are managing clusters -- if there are special communication mediums you'd like to see made available to share information and collaborate (between cluster administrators, with Intel), we are open to suggestions.

I am waiting for MPSS 3.3. It has to be released in JUNE 2014. Can you share any update on the release of MPSS 3.3?

Thanks,

Updated roadmaps, including information on the changes in the recent Intel® Parallel Studio XE 2015 release, are provided in the presentation attached to this post. In addition, this presentation contains suggestions/information on configuring MPI on clusters containing the Intel® Xeon Phi™ coprocessors. This material was originally presented at the second Intel Xeon Phi cluster administrators' working group.
