Larrabee is the codename for a cancelled GPGPU chip that Intel was developing separately from its current line of integrated graphics accelerators. It is named after either Mount Larrabee or Larrabee
Xeon Phi
…languages and application programming interfaces (APIs) such as OpenMP. Xeon Phi launched in 2010. Since it was originally based on an earlier GPU design (codenamed "Larrabee") by Intel that was cancelled in 2009, it shared application areas with GPUs. The main difference between Xeon Phi and a GPGPU like Nvidia Tesla was…
The Larrabee GPU architecture, unveiled at the SIGGRAPH conference in August 2008
According to Intel, Larrabee has a fully programmable pipeline, in contrast to current generation graphics cards which are only partially programmable.
