The Xeon Phi looks really awesome, and I'd love to be able to have that many cores at my disposal...however, as far as I can tell, its not at all like have 57 cores on your current computer. Whereas in my current software (Ruby, Haskell programs) I can just specify the number of threads to create to parallelize my software further, I'm not really sure how I'd use the Phi.
