Intel Xeon Phi accelerators will turn into full-fledged co-processors that will be installed in the server motherboards. This will happen in 2015, when there will be a 14-nm generation solutions Knights Landing.
In the same package with a processor core will accommodate memory chip type MCDRAM totaling up to 8 or 16 GB, providing bandwidth up to 500 Gb / s. This memory can be configured to work as a cache, as well as in the mode of fast memory. Typically, a portion of memory that can be allocated for the needs of the cache, and the part - for a total memory.
Knights Landing will support six channels of memory type DDR4-2400, totaling up to 384 GB. Computing accelerator will contain up to 72 processor cores architecture Silvermont: for each core will have to four threads and two 512-bit vector unit. performance Level in floating-point single precision reaches 6 teraflops, double precision - 3 teraflops. Supports 36 lanes PCI Express 3.0, the TDP of the accelerator in a typical configuration will not exceed 200 watts.
Following the base version Knights Landing will appears another with the suffix "F", which will support the high-speed interface Storm Lake development Cray. Two channels will transmit information at the speed of 100 Gbit / s. By the way, by the end of 2015 will be released boosters Knights Landing version with interface PCI Express, they offer support only two memory channels DDR4 type of no more than 64 GB.
