do you mean it's easier to get large quantities? that is the impression I'm getting. we have two nvidia clusters, and unfortunately are out-of-phase to fund a new phi cluster. but spending 5-20k on phi is doable, except that they seem to have no "street" (reseller) presence at all. colfax lists them, but only in systems. I'm not really clear on why I can't just buy one and drop it into an existing system. it's not like hot pcie cards are anything new... thanks, mark. > > Scott > > > On Tue, Feb 26, 2013 at 10:42 AM, Mark Hahn <h...@mcmaster.ca> wrote: > >> >> How the hell do you get Phi cards? >> We've been beating the bushes and have had no luck so far, >> in spite of having significant history with GP-GPU and some >> cash burning a hole in our pocket... >> >> the most info I've gotten so far is that a local reseller >> claims that Phi might be available at some time from OEMs >> like Supermicro. apparently not directly from Intel though. >> >> thanks, mark. >> _______________________________________________ >> Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org sponsored by Penguin Computing >> To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit >> http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf >> > -- operator may differ from spokesperson. h...@mcmaster.ca _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
