Intel® Vtune™: “Error connecting to MIC card”, Why?
By Sumedh Naik (Intel)Posted March 29th 20131
Recently, while profiling a workload on the Intel® Xeon Phi™ coprocessor using Intel Vtune, I ran across the following error: Quote: ERROR connecting to MIC card, make sure sep_mic_server is running on the card, retrying connection… ERROR connection to MIC card <1:1046>, errno 111   Before ...
Behind the Scenes: Offload Memory Management on the Intel® Xeon Phi™ coprocessor
By Sumedh Naik (Intel)Posted March 27th 20130
For a lot of people out there, offload is a mysterious construct that by magic switches context to the Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor and makes the code run on the coprocessor without getting the developer’s hands dirty. Although this black box approach is an excellent idea for most part, the ...
Intel® Xeon Phi™ coprocessor Power Management Pt 0: Introduction and inquiring minds
By Taylor Kidd (Intel)Posted March 24th 20130
So exactly which power states exist on the Intel® Xeon Phi™ coprocessor? What happens in each of the power states? Inquiring minds want to know. And since you are, no doubt, aggressively involved in high performance computing (HPC), I am sure you want to know also. This is not going to be a high ...

Haswell RCPPS/RSQRTPS implementation16
Hi, I work on code which targets AVX2 + FMA3 and depends on the accuracy of VRCPPS/VRSQRTPS. Should I expect the implementation of these instructions on Haswell to be the same as on Ivy Bridge? Regards, Marat

Adding consecutive large numbers5
I am trying to write a simple assembly code in asm using the AVX instructions. I have seen a problem rising up while adding large numbers. The code is here: __asm__ __volatile__( "vzeroall\n\t" "movl $0, %%r9d\n\t" "movl $4, %%r10d\n\t" "leal (%%eax, %%r9d, 1), %%edx\n\t" "vbroadcastss (%%edx), %% ...
