MATLAB: Xeon Phi Knights Mill

Question

Hello

taking into account the technical specifications found here:

https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/128694/intel-xeon-phi-processor-7235-16gb-1-3-ghz-64-core.html

think or experience that an Intel Xeon Phi of the latest generation Knights Mill family can be used as a normal processor using Matlab R2019a on Windows 10 or can it create problems and if so what?

thank you

Answer 1

Yes, you can use MATLAB with Intel Xeon Phi processors (not co-processors).
