Is it still running embedded FreeBSD?

• colechristensen 10y ago
  It's a "normal" socket processor which happens to include graphics-like cores on-die. You could probably install FreeBSD on it.

  KNC effectively runs BusyBox with tweaks.
  • zymhan 10y ago
    Busybox is not an OS.
    • stonogo 10y ago
      If Busybox is not an OS, then neither is GNU.
      • pavanky 10y ago
        GNU is not an OS either. GNU/Hurd is. GNU/Linux is.
      • haldean 10y ago
        That is factually correct.
      • zymhan 10y ago
        I do not disagree. I think you should do some reading on what an operating system is.

          I think you should do some reading on my comment.

      All language runtimes are just like OSes when targeted to run bare metal. However I don't know if that is the case here.

  No. As far as I aware it's run Linux.

    Not sure of the downvotes. If I am following the thread correctly, this is about KNC/KNL? From a KNC card: Linux <hostname>-mic0 2.6.38.8+mpss3.4.3 #1 SMP Mon Feb 16 16:08:55 PST 2015 k1om GNU/Linux From KNL: Linux <hostname> 3.10.0-229.20.1.el6.x86_64.knl2 #2 SMP Tue Dec 8 22:27:38 MST 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

      I was talking about KNC since it's only hardware I ever had access to since Intel sold them 90% off on Amazon.

  I love how there are 3 different, mutually exclusive replies to your question so far.
