Hi!
Is support for Intel Xeon Phi planned?
TACC Stampede is now operational, and features Dell PowerEdge C8220 nodes with Xeon Phi coprocessors:

We do hope to support it eventually, although we haven't specifically looked into it yet. We don't have a processor to test on yet.

Hi Peter,
Were there any updates with running OpenMM on Xeon Phi?
Thanks,
Max

We spent quite a while working on Xeon Phi support, but were never able to get acceptable performance out of it. It's possible that a future version of the hardware will work better. But on the hardware we had, you were better off ignoring the Xeon Phi and just running on the CPU.
