Hi all,
I've got a skunkworks project ...lets call it a solution looking for a problem... that utilizes a Supermicro X10DRG-Q motherboard and 4 Xeon Phi 7120 cards. I am looking for a way to demonstrate the capabilities of this machine, and it seems distributed computing probably offers the most accessible way for me to get software to run on this beast.

Does anyone know of a DC client that can utilize Xeon Phi?

Let me know!

Feb. 2015 GDF over at GPUGrid told me

Hi,
we have tried long ago Xeon phi for molecular dynamics and its performance was terrible.

So, that is as least one project that attempted on the back end.

I also approached slicker over at Collatz around that time and he didn't seem all too interested either.

You may want to get into contact with mancoast here: http://mindmodeling.org/forum_thread.php?id=1019#3490 as he was trying to gain support for Phi's as well.
