Reminds me of how Xeon Phi Coprocessors used Atom cores
- rbanffy 3y agoThe Xeon Phi is one of Intel's missed opportunities - it could have been positioned as a virtualization workhorse, but only the last iteration got VT-x and VT-d extensions.
- gymbeaux 3y agoBut the RAM on ‘em was very low and as far as I know the cores only run C++ code, which I realize is what a lot of software is written in, including probably QEMU… can that last iteration actually run a hypervisor? I would have loved to be able to run a bare-metal OS on it and have those cores available for multithreaded Python/C#/etc.
