Intel showed off an overclocked Larrabee with the SGEMM benchmark,
where
it barely reached 1 TF. The SGEMM benchmark is actually just one of
the
components of the Linpack benchmark, the single-precision
matrix-multiply component actually. They made a big deal out of it, as
if the SGEMM was a great accomplishment, as if it was as important as
the overall Linpack, but then the next day they announced they're
cancelling it.

I think that at that point it's not matter of performance, it's a
matter of software and programmability. For me it looks like Intel is
going to promote and optimize open standard heterogeneous multicore
programming (OpenCL). They are probably giving Larrabee to software
companies that can do it better than Intel (Codeplay for example). I
don't think it's a falure. It could be a smart move in a long run and
good for everybody.

---------------------
Does anyone know if AMD/ATI are going to endorse OpenCL?
btw: Jenia it looks like your news reader isent set up correctly, or
perhaps its
mine, but it dosent insert the > in front of the quoted text you have
written! As it does with
other peoples! On second thougth it looks like you are posting from
Google so its
their mistake!
