The next generation Intel® Xeon Phi™ processor ("Knights Landing").
During the
Supercomputing Conference in Denver, Intel
discussed form factors and memory configuration details ; and Connectikpeople has discovered
that the new design will be based on the leading edge 14nm manufacturing
technology and will be available as a host CPU with high-bandwidth memory on a
processor package.
Bringing
many-core CPU, Intel announced that, it will be more easily programmable for
developers and improve performance by removing "off-loading" to PCIe
devices, and increase cost effectiveness by reducing the number of components
compared to
current solutions.
In the same
dynamic, Intel has also announced collaboration with the HPC community designed
to deliver customized products to meet the diverse needs of customers, and
