Solutions based on Intel Phi

SIE offers high level solutions for Scientific Calculus based on Intel Phi. This card is a revolution in the mathematica coprocessors field because the x86 compatibility is full. It make Intel Phi as a serious competitor vs GPU cards that offer NVDIA and ATI.

GPU technology give many cores and performance but its use supose re-writing the programs, even with the help of CUDA libraries (for NVDIA).

The advantage of Intel Phi is the concept of migration “some cores” to “many cores” (old name of Intel Phi is MIC, Many Integrated Cores). This transition is very easy using the Fortran and C++ compiler by Intel. It is the firts time that SIE can offer 260 cores x86 inside in one machine and in addition using all codes and programs wrote from 1990
