I'm curious about your next gen plans, given Phi's roadmap.

I played around with avx512 in my rzf code. 
https://github.com/joelandman/rzf/blob/master/avx2/rzf_avx512.c  . Never 
really spent a great deal of time on it, other than noting that using 
avx512 seemed to downclock the core a bit on Skylake.

Which dev/toolchain are you using for Phi?  I set up the MPSS bit for a 
customer, and it was pretty bad (2.6.32 kernel, etc.).  Flaky control 
plane, and a painful host->coprocessor interface.  Did you develop your 
own?  Definitely curious.
