So I went ahead with the Intel Parallel Studio installation, that is
included with the box. The license is given for 1 year (until Aug
14, 2017, to be exact) and the current version of this product is
Intel 16 Update 3. We know that this version has "partial" KNL
support. We have been told yesterday that Update 4 with full KNL
support will show up any day soon and Intel 17 - in August.
Anyway, during the installation it warns me about
================
Unsupported OS
Detected operating system is not supported. Supported operating
systems for this release are:
CentOS* 6.5 (Intel(R) 64)
Debian* 7, 8, 8
Fedora* 21, 22
Red Hat Enterprise Linux* 5 (deprecated), 6, 7, 5 (deprecated)
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server* 11, 12
Ubuntu* 12.04 (Intel(R) 64), 13.10, 14.04, 15.04, 15.04
The system does not use a supported Intel(R) processor.
The system does not use a supported Intel(R) processor. The drivers
for Hardware Event-based Sampling (EBS) data collection will be
disabled. To enable this functionality, install the product on a
system with a compliant processor architecture.
=================
I find it weird - shipping a product with an unsupported OS. At the
minimum, they should ship with the right OS.
Also, it seems do not support KNL at all, it does not even read the
id string.
Let us see what Update 4 would bring us.
