The natural place for Intel to launch the next iteration of its “Knights” family of parallel X86 processors is at one of the two major supercomputer conferences that are hosted each year, which is the ...

When introducing its monster 72-core Xeon Phi chip, Intel couldn’t help but take a swipe at graphics processors for being sluggish for some tasks. Ironically, Xeon Phi is a byproduct of Larrabee, ...

A family of x86 coprocessors from Intel for parallel computing. Dubbed the "Many Integrated Core" (MIC) architecture, Xeon Phi chips run at lower speeds than ordinary Intel CPUs but make up for the ...

This is the third in a four-part series about the Intel® Scalable System Framework. Other contributions cover Intel® Omni-Path Architecture fabric, HPC software and the OpenHPC community, and Intel® ...

Intel has provided more details on its second-generation Xeon Phi co-processor at the annual SC conference, with the new Knights Landing beast nearly ready to be shipped. The company has said they've ...

When it comes to DNA analysis, large-scale pattern matching algorithms are constantly being refined to add a performance and efficiency boost to speed the time to result and accordingly, the practical ...

This new paper by Dr Sparsh Mittal surveys techniques for evaluating and optimizing Intel's Xeon Phi. Now accepted in Concurrency and Computation 2020, the survey reviews nearly 100 papers. Intel Xeon ...

Intel has put the Xeon Phi family to bed for good, with cancellation notices on the Knights Mill Xeon Phi processor. Both the PCIe and socketed Larrabee descendants are officially dead, with Xe rising ...

Intel's new Xeon Phi won't just power next-generation supercomputers -- it's going to make a debut in workstations as well. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) Share on X (opens in a new window) ...

Intel used a benchmark slide during its presentation at ISC 2016 to detail their Xeon Phi processors being 2.3x faster than NVIDIA GPUs in neural network training. According to Intel's data and ...

Nvidia has called out Intel for juicing its chip performance in specific benchmarks—accusing Intel of publishing some incorrect “facts” about the performance of its long-overdue Knights Landing Xeon ...

When introducing its monster 72-core Xeon Phi chip, Intel couldn’t help but take a swipe at graphics processors for being sluggish for some tasks. Ironically, Xeon Phi is a byproduct of Larrabee, ...
