Installing the MPSS (MIC Platform Software Stack)

Step - 1: Disable SELinux before installing Intel(R) MPSS software, to avoid SELinux overriding standard Linux permissions settings. 

vi /etc/sysconfig/selinux

SELINUX=disabled

Step - 2: Check for previous installed version of Intel(R) MPSS package. If present, stop the service and uninstall the package. 

sudo rpm -qa | grep intel-mic

Step - 3: Uninstall previous version of Intel(R) MPSS driver if present. Red Hat* Enterprise Linux* 

sudo yum remove --noplugins --disablerepo=* intel-mic\*

Starting Intel(R) MPSS Services

Start Intel(R) MPSS by using the Linux* service command, reset the system, and check coprocessor status. 

sudo service mpss start
sudo micctrl -r 
sudo micctrl -w

Stopping Intel(R) MPSS Services

sudo service mpss stop
sudo service mpss unload
