title: Xeon Phi Knights Corner intrinsics with GCC
body: <p><a href="http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&amp;px=MTgzNjY" rel="nofollow">I'm thinking of purchasing a Xeon Phi Knights Corner (KNC) coprocessor card</a>. But I don't own an Intel Compiler and I have no interest in purchasing one (and the non-commercial version no longer seems to be an option). </p>
  
  <p><a href="http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&amp;px=MTgzNjY" rel="nofollow">It appears that GCC is getting OpenMP support for the Xeon Phi</a>. <strong>Is there some version of GCC or an extension to GCC that supports the <a href="https://software.intel.com/sites/landingpage/IntrinsicsGuide/" rel="nofollow">KNC intrinsics</a>?</strong></p>
  
  <p>Note that the 512-bit SIMD of the KNC is not compatible withe AVX512 (though the next version Knights Landing will be).</p>
