CFX Solver using Xeon Phi (Intel MIC) card

cvh · September 8, 2014, 21:09

Hello All,
I was wondering if anyone here has any experience of running the CFX Solver (v14.5) using the Xeon Phi card. In general, a software would have to be recompiled to take advantage of the card, but I am not sure how to go about it in case of CFX.
Any thoughts/inputs would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
CVH

CFX is propriety code. You can't rewrite it.

I'm told by my colleague Fluent 15 has Beta features which take advantage of Xeon Phi. I'm not so sure about CFX.

Thanks RicochetJ. I know the code cannot be modified - I was just wondering if there are any expert parameters that can be set to make use of the MIC card. I'll check if CFX 15 has that feature.
