System developers start receiving orders for devoce based on the Xeon Phi processors generation Knights Landing. As you may remember, we talked about them last November.
Accelerator computing Knights Landing can contain up to 72 cores with x86-based architecture and 16 GB high-speed memory such as Micron's manufacturing MCDRAM, integrable directly on the processor substrate. In addition, each processor Xeon Phi supports six-channel type memory DDR4.
The most modest option Ninja platform for developers has a performance reminiscent of a desktop computer, it provides liquid cooling expansion slots and three PCI Express 3.0 (x16, x16 and x4 as the structural x8). Pre-orders for this system implies a price of $ 4400. "Rack version" by 2U four modules that support the "hot swap", is estimated at $ 17 900. Accelerators Intel Xeon Phi calculations are derived from Larrabee project, which did not allow Intel to return to the discrete graphics segment, but got some development in the supercomputer segment. Intel competitor in this area remains with NVIDIA Tesla accelerators computing. Related Products :
