Using the Intel Xeon Phi Compute Accelerator with #VMware #ESX 6.0
Using the Intel Xeon Phi Compute Accelerator…
Compute accelerators — whether they be GPUs, Intel Xeon Phi, or FPGAs — are increasingly common in HPC and so it is important that we assess the use of such technologies from within VMware vSphere® as part of our efforts to virtualize research computing and other HPC environments. Last year when I tested Intel Xeon Phi in passthrough mode (VM Direct Path I/O) with VMware ESX® 5.5, we found that it didn’t work due to some limitations in our passthrough implementation. However, using an…Read More
