We reported about computing accelerators Xeon Phi, which with Knights Landing generation become full and independent processors with 72 cores, in late March. We recall that these processors are not only emulated by more progressive architecture Intel Silvermont and advanced 14-nanometer process technology, but also offers innovations in the field of memory. In addition to supporting DDR4 memory type , they use integrable on the same substrate with the processor multi-tiered storage type MCDRAM, which the company developed in conjunction with Micron on the base of Hybrid Memory Cube. Debut processor models will acquire 8 or 16 GB of memory type.
Intel reported that the deliveries of processors Knights Landing goes strictly according to schedule, and they appear in the finished system in the second half of this year. In addition, Intel has announced the beginning of commercial deployment of network infrastructure Omni-Path, which aims to accelerate the data transfer to the supercomputer and server systems. The first solution to support Omni-Path will be released in conjunction with HP servers under the family Apollo. By year end, the number of supporting OPA products will reach 100 pieces, among them will be network equipment.
In connection with the publication of a new edition in the list of the 500 most powerful supercomputers in the world, Intel has found it necessary to recall that its processors are present in 86% of the systems listed here, and among the newcomers this percentage reaches 95%. Related Products :
