[zacuttialberto]

Hello to everyone

i just saw this intresting news, and where is indicated that intel embree (which is base code of corona) is optimize to work on intel xepn phi..
So it is so complex code corona to work also on this card?
it will be much easier date a pci express card instead the whole workstation.

thank you for an answer.

Xeon Phi (as pci-e card) is very much dead.

This has been discussed few times already (just search for "Xeon Phi" here on the forum). Xeon Phi is basically something between CPU and GPU and for us it seems to have the worst of both worlds. We don't plan to support Xeon Phi anytime soon.
