[gmx-users] Installing GROMACS4.6.1 on Intel MIC

[Szilárd Páll]

FYI: As much as Intel likes to say that you can "just run" MPI/MPI+OpenMP
code on MIC, you will probably not be impressed with the performance (it
will be *much* slower than a Xeon CPU).

If you want to know why and what/when are we doing something about it,
please read my earlier comments on MIC posted to the mailing list.
