5. Manycores geared towards scientific computing
5.1 Xeon Phi architectures
Intel's approach to many-core processors is known as MIC (many-integrated-core) and has seen two generations of Xeon Phi, codenamed KNC (Knights Corner) and KNL (Knights Landing). These are coprocessors, with KNL also available as a standalone processor.
Intel's Xeon Phi coprocessor reflects the approach of extending the characteristics of multicore processors to the manycore domain, notably with:
software compatibility with the Intel range (x86 instruction set);
memory hierarchy with cache coherence: logically shared memory;
virtual memory with page translation and TLB;
ring or...
