Intel XEON Phi: Linux only?

[O. Hartmann]

it seems Intel does favour Linux for the new massiv parallel "Knights
Corner" add-on PCIe card. The news doesn't mention any other opensource
OS (like FreeBSD), but Phoronix is well known for its Linux relation.

So, does Intel have any plans to make the Knights Corner work on *BSD as
well as on Linux? Or did I misunderstood something and other OSes are
already capable of dealing with this type of card?

Well, this adapter card looks promising and very interesting for massive
parallel applications and it would be great if the "Knights Corner"
could be a an alternative for the lack of GPU support in FreeBSD when it
comes to HPC.
