#ALGORITHMS: "Xeon/Xeon Phi to Get 512-bit Advanced Vector Instructions"

The next generation of Xeon and Xeon Phi processors from Intel will feature 512-bit versions of its advanced vector extensions (AVX-512), which will level the playing field between its multi-core and many-integrated core (MIC) processors, opening the door to massively parallel CPUs--instead of just co-processors--in the future: R. Colin Johnson @NextGenLog


The next generation of the Xeon Phi massively parallel processor--Knights Landing--will include the new AVX-512 instructions.



mprovement in performance over today's the Xeon, but by the next generation both execute AVX-512 instructions.
