Xeon PHI Software
As software for the MIC, Intel provides the Intel MIC Platform Software Stack (MPSS). This is made up of system software and libraries for low-level coprocessor management. Distribution-specific builds of the MPSS source packages are used by Bright Cluster Manager to manage MIC cards, and are picked up from the Bright Computing repositories. The Bright Cluster Manager administrator should not pick up the MPSS packages from Intel directly.
Xeon Phi Packages
- intel-mic-cross: Intel MIC GNU tool chain to perform cross compilation (for x86_64 and for k1om);
- intel-mic-driver: Intel MIC driver, built during host boot;
- intel-mic-flash: Intel MIC flash files, to flash the cards (section 14.4);
- intel-mic-kerneldev: Intel MIC kernel development tools and sources;
- intel-mic-ofed: OFED drivers and libraries for MIC.
- intel-mic-runtime: Intel MIC runtime;
- intel-mic-sdk: Intel MIC SDK.intel-mic-perf: Benchmarks for measuring the performance of the Intel MIC cards.
Xeon PHI OFED
The OFED drivers on the running systems are built during host boot, from source packages packed inside the intel-mic-ofed package. The source packages are:
- intel-mic-ofed-kmod: Host-side MIC InfiniBand Drivers
- intel-mic-ofed-libibscif: Intel SCIF Userspace Driver
- intel-mic-ofed-ibpd: InfiniBand Proxy Daemon
