Ph9214 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 I was wondering if you could assign cores from a Xeon Phi pcie card to a vm in unraid? Maybe running parallel virtualization processes on the built in micro OS on the phi to emulate 4 cpu cores? Seems promising... Any ideas? Quote Link to comment

Doesn't look easy. https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/getting-kernel-based-virtual-machine-kvm-to-work-with-intel-xeon-phi-coprocessors Admittedly that article is a little dated, but I couldn't find anything more recent with a quick search.

Nope. Heavily customized slackware. But the virtual machine software unraid uses is KVM. Quote Link to comment

Well the guide uses rpm packages and kernel patches, including uninstalling and reinstalling the packages used to manage the kvm environments, is there a way to install unraid as a suit on top of red hat?

Ph9214 Posted December 9, 2016 Author Share Posted December 9, 2016 also, it is to pass through the co-processor, I wanted to run multiple vms on the Phi with visualized cores (so windows won't freak out because of 600+ cpu cores) Quote Link to comment
CowboyRedBeard Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Has anyone revisited this since a while back? Refurb models of these have come down quite a bit in cost 1 Quote Link to comment
