Taken this message, http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTExOTE it seems Intel does favour Linux for the new massiv parallel "Knights Corner" add-on PCIe card. The news doesn't mention any other opensource OS (like FreeBSD), but Phoronix is well known for its Linux relation. So, does Intel have any plans to make the Knights Corner work on *BSD as well as on Linux? Or did I misunderstood something and other OSes are already capable of dealing with this type of card? Well, this adapter card looks promising and very interesting for massive parallel applications and it would be great if the "Knights Corner" could be a an alternative for the lack of GPU support in FreeBSD when it comes to HPC.
