This is a blog post aimed to pass on the baton of the work I've done in the past to anyone who wants to pick it back up partially or completely, which I was still doing (or trying to do) until Hanging my volunteer gloves and moving to a new phase of my life.


This blog post could potentially be edited as time goes on and I remember about things I've done in the past and which should be picked up by someone else:

• KNL vs Skylake-SP: https://www.emc.com/collateral/white...skylake-wp.pdf

The nostalgic reason for this was that I had briefly gotten a chance to work with a couple of Intel Phi Co-processors a couple of years ago and never got the time...

Here is the TL;DR bullet list:

1. To help others (and possibly gain IRL Karma points).
2. To train/gain/increase/improve my experience, knowledge, patience and user support skills, in a way that no PhD or academic course could ever do.
3. To feel accomplished, in a way similar to playing video games:
   • If I can do this task, I can do other tasks as well. If not at the moment, I'll try and try again until I can overcome this (semi-artificial) hurdle.

And if you can find the time and are willing to do...
