Question: Support for Xeon Phi?
PerfAnxiety opened this issue · comments
I know it had been long since the Xeon Phi had been discontinued, and there is no value in any attempts to revive the Xeon Phi, my questions below are plainly for studying purposes.
- Are Xeon Phi(s) still supported by the Aparapi project? If so, how long will it continue to receive support from this project?
- What setups/configurations will be needed for the current Aparapi project to work on Xeon Phi(s)? What attempts should be taken?
- If Aparapi still works on Xeon Phi(s), what's the performance that it would get? or at suspected to have?
I'm really sorry to bother you all, the main reason that I created this issue is because I've recently gotten a Xeon Phi, and in my attempts to make it work, I've came across multiple Stack Overflow posts and forums mentioning that "JamVM" and "Aparapi" would work with the Xeon Phi.

I've conducted hours of research but was only able to come up with a single pull request in the original Aparapi repo mentioning that the support for Xeon Phi was added.
Any attempts to help and all responses will be highly appreciated.
EDIT: Any other information or documentations regarding to the Xeon Phi would also be highly appreciated.
This is old, but I just stumbled over this. Yes from my understanding it should work. Aparapi uses opencl and Xeon Phi supports opencl.
