How to program Intel Xeon Phi with C #?

Question

I am a C # programmer with C ++ experience, all on Windows.

With this skill set, are there any options for the Intel Xeon Phi processor?

Found a link, but not sure if this is the best / only way.

Thank you for your advice.

Answer 1

Check out the Programming Overview for Intel® Xeon® Processors and Intel® Xeon Phi Coprocessors for an overview.

From the section:

Compiler and Programming Models

There are several recommendations we can make based on what works well for developers. For Fortran programmers, use OpenMP, DO CONCURRENT, and MPI. For C ++ programmers, use Intel TBB, Intel Cilk Plus, and OpenMP. For C programmers, use OpenMP and Intel Cilk Plus.
