[Mckernel-users 1] Questions about McKernel

[yin at ertl.jp]

Dear researchers,

This is Yin from Nagoya University.
I'm so sorry to bother you but I want to ask for some information about
McKernel which could help with my current study.

Q1: attached-mic mode is designed for running McKernel natively on MIC(if I
didn’t misunderstand). Why the target architecture(ARCH) is x86_64 but not
k1om, and the compiler designated in the configure file is gcc but not x86_6
4-k1om-linux-gcc?

Q2: During compiling using attached-mic mode, there is an error appeared:
error: 'xgetbv' is not supported on 'k1om'.
After searching in the source code, 'xgetbv' instruction is used in implemen
ting SSE, but Xeon Phi doesn’t support SSE as I know. So I wonder whether M
cKernel-1.0.0 is the formal version which can be used on Intel Xeon Phi?

URL at which I downloaded McKernel-1.0.0:
http://www.pccluster.org/ja/mckernel/download.html

I'm looking forward to your kind response.

Thank you,
Yin
