this is where my environment fell over with respect to KNC and KNL. Once the dev's got their hands on the cards they realized they had to refactor the code away from gpu's. and the few that did, didn't get much performance benefit over just using a gpu which they already knew. intel could have cornered the market from gpu's if they had released KNL first and not been so late to the market. once CUDA took hold, game over. _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
