Hello,

has anyone gotten POVray to run while using an Intel PHI card?

I have 8 Phis that i'd like to run as a demo for an upcoming computer show in
November of this year.

i think that POV running 500 cores would be a nice show stopper for people
walking by the booth.

please contact me if you'd like to help me out.

thanks!
Mark

This sounds interesting. I've not studied the Phi so can't say what
sort of effort is required to for POV-Ray to take advantage of it.

I'll drop you an email.
