How can we know whether Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor is present or not


I want to run a program on Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor. How can I know whether my machine has an Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor or not.


Solution

  • Well if it has one you should probably know as it is large (see pictures here), costly (several times the price of a desktop), and it generates a lot of heat (you need special fans) and drains a lot of electrical power (you need a special PSU).

    otherwise lspci | grep Co-processor will tell you whether you have one or not.
