[Beowulf] The xeon phi

[Jonathan Engwall]

Greg, like a hat? Phi on a Pi?
It needs a six and an eight pin connector.

The Phi runs linux natively. To take the quick start a step further,
generate the mandelbrot visually,  and call the coprocessor to add the
color fields.

HOST/USER
main()
{
#pragma offload target(mic)
}

COPROCESSOR
myColorFunction();

target = myColorFunction?
