Native execution on xeon phi

[MikolajMizera]

Hi,
are here users of xeon phi coprocessors? I wonder if there is possibility of native execution of matab or python interpreter directly on coprocessor's linux?

Xeon Phi requires specialized programming. While those packages are typically the kind that can benefit, Matlab (which I suspect you were asking about) does not support the Xeon Phi - I suspect the potential market pool is still too small.

Python interpreter - I'd say "never".

Just to be clear:
Acctualy, Matlab and Python can benefit from Xeon Phi via MKL and auto offload mechanism (the benefit is mainly for data parallel code). But my question is about NATIVE execution and came from the fact, that xeon phi provides x86-compatibile threads and supports RedHat and SUSE linux. Having those two things i though it could be possible to execute standard application and benefit from enormous amount of logical cores with task parallel software.
