Dear Dewight,<br>
<br>
The Xeon Phis can be used for both shared-memory multiprocessing and
distributed-memory multiprocessing (through MPI) but in either case
the software will need to be recompiled to support the Xenon Phi
processors. The Texas Advanced Computing Center uses Xenon Phi cards
in their Stampede cluster. Their user guide for stampede (
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://portal.xsede.org/tacc-stampede">https://portal.xsede.org/tacc-stampede</a> ) has a description of the
different application scenarios for the Phi coprocessors as well as
a guide to the relevant software flags for compilation.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Has anyone performed 3D single particle
reconstruction on the new Intel Xeon Phi boards? When you
performed this work did the software need to be recompiled or
was it implemented through standard openMPI? What software
were you using Frealign, Relion, Xmipp, EMAN2, etc? Thanks,
I’m debating on which architecture I want to invest in for a
local cluster and any feedback on these questions would be
very appreciated.
