Delivers over a teraFLOPS (floating-point operations per second) of double-precision peak performance. Additionally, as compared with Intel® Xeon® processor E5 family-based servers, the Intel® Xeon Phi™ coprocessor delivers up to 2.3 times higher peak FLOPS and up to 3 times more performance per watt and up to 7 times better performance on certain financial services applications.
Applications can support both Intel® Xeon® processors and Intel® Xeon Phi™ coprocessors which use common languages, models, and familiar and standard development tools, so there’s no need to learn new languages or tools.
Leverage the compute flexibility of Intel® Xeon Phi™ coprocessors to either use in Intel® Xeon® processors to accelerate processing of highly parallel code, or create independent, high-performance computing compute nodes with its own IP address and can run applications independently—unlike a basic accelerator.
