For some time the project under the codename Larrabee has replaced orientation with game on computer, and the corresponding Intel architecture called Many Integrated Cores (MIC). The implementation of 50-core solutions Knights Corner is planned for 2013 - Computing boosters will work as part of supercomputer Stampede .
Last week, NVIDIA quite unexpectedly criticized the accelerator Intel Knights Corner, saying that disclosure of their capacity to parallel computing still need extensive work on optimization of software, and the fact that the use of x86-compatible architecture in this respect did not facilitate the task. NVIDIA suggested rather than waiting for the appearance of products with MIC architecture to acquire accelerators computing its production.
Intel representatives remind that the preparation for announcement of Knights Corner is in accordance with the agreed plan for the company.
