MIC - Intel Many Integrated Core Architecture

"Intel Many Integrated Core Architecture (Intel MIC Architecture) products give developers a key advantage: They run on standard, existing programming tools and methods.

Intel MIC Architecture combines many Intel processor cores onto a single chip. Developers interested in programming these cores can use standard C, C++, and FORTRAN source code. The same program source code written for Intel® MIC Products can be compiled and run on a standard Intel® Xeon® processor. Familiar programming models remove training barriers, allowing the developer to focus on the problems rather than software engineering.

 Intel® Many Integrated Core Architecture (Intel® MIC Architecture) ushers in a new era of supercomputing speed, performance, and compatibility. Now developers can create platforms running at trillions of calculations per second using the fast and familiar Intel® Xeon® processor and Intel® Xeon Phi™ coprocessor based on the new architecture."
