The Intel Xeon Phi processor is a multicore coprocessor that is available as a self-boot system. This means that the entire OS and applications can live entire on the coprocessor system, without having to interact frequently with the host system. Since there is no wait time for data transfer, the Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor can accelerate well designed applications much faster than before. With up to 72 processing cores, it can accelerate applications tremendously, with each core containing two Advanced Vector Extensions, which speeds up the floating point performance – it is capable of delivering up to 2.82 double-precision teraFLOPS (floating-point operations per second) per coprocessor.

While most applications will continue to achieve maximum performance on Intel Xeon processors, certain highly parallel applications will benefit dramatically by using Intel Xeon Phi coprocessors. To take full advantage of Intel Xeon Phi coprocessors an application must scale well to over 100 software threads and either make extensive use of vectors or efficiently use more local memory bandwidth than is available on an Intel Xeon processor. Examples of segments with highly parallel applications include animation, energy, finance, life sciences, manufacturing, medical, public sector, weather, and more.

why did you get this without a use case? 

surely you bought this with a purpose

it is probably just a box, and no coprocessor

could be bragging for some reason that the company he works for bought it

true ?

i feel like there's alot of swag seekers on here?

looks like there's lots of other boxes so probably company innovations

Guys chill. This came in a lot from a liquidation sale. I still have no way to verify if it works or not...

You will use that to calculate time and space!

So did your company just purchase a bunch of these and they are telling you to find out if it works? If that is the case, don't bother because those things are used for very specific task like scientific research.

What you can do is put it on a shelf for display.

No. I thought I made it clear that these were bought in a liquidation sale, and not specifically for the zeon phi.

At me or quote me, I want to hear your opinion.

 

Hopefully anything I say is factually correct. Sorry for any mistakes in advanced.

If it works, that's the plan. I'm just not sure how to benchmark it, to compare it to stock.

Do a processer benchmark and then search up results if it doesn't show up in the bench.

Xeon Phi runs on embedded linux that it is built into the card itself and in order to use it, you'll have to be really good writing code that optimizes the Xeon Phi to show its true potential. It also requires specific boards that supports it, because not all boards will work with a Xeon Phi. PCIe cards ones were 1st gen, then they went to sockets like a CPU, where some have an extra OmniPath connector. CPUs right now has a massive increase in core count, which defeats the purpose of even having a Xeon Phi, so Intel has set it to EOL.

In other words R.I.P. me.
