I've wanted one for a couple years now, but i can't find any verification that BOINC will work on it
After browsing some documents, it runs its own OS (Linux) on a virtual network.
It looks like any program you run on it would need to be compiled for it, but you could run anything you had the source code for (boinc). It does support opencl.Working directly with the uOS Environment Intel® Xeon Phi™ Coprocessor
Since the coprocessor is running Linux and is effectively a separate network node, root or non-root users can log into it via “ssh” and issue many common Linux commands. Files are transferred to/from the coprocessor using “scp” or other means.
The default IP address for the coprocessor as seen from the host is 172.31.<coprocessor>.1, while the coprocessor sees the host at 172.31.<coprocessor>.254 by default. The coprocessor can also be referred to from the host by the alias mic<coprocessor>. For example, the first coprocessor you install in your system is called “mic0” and is located at 172.31.1.1. It sees the host as 172.31.1.254.
For most people, it's probably more trouble than it's worth.Development Environment: Available Compilers and Libraries
Compilers

Add another $5K-10K for the Intel compiler. They don't just give that stuff away. The reason most Windows users use Visual Studio is because it costs soooo much less than the Intel compiler. And, if you only need simple apps, Visual Studio Express is free. Also, if it runs Linux, why isn't there a GCC version for it? Hmmm...
Spring 2008 Race: (1st Place)
ok i know this is alittle old of post but. will this work in a home pc? or does it need to be a server rack? the 1600.00 one looks like a good one to try if it will crunch and work in a normal style pc
