A little anxious.

A little anxious because I have written to Intel and another company to see if they can donate some Xeon Phi GPU cards and the response has been none.

I would like to have the first computer with four cards and the second computer with the two Tesla K40, but if I do get the Xeon Phi, I might install them in another THIRD computer or use them for 30 days on the second computer to compare the procesing power of the Xeon Phi.

The Worlds fastest computer right now is one that is in China, Tianhe-2 and it has Xeon Phi's and that is why I would like to see what is the performance against the Tesla K40 or even the GTX Titans.

If you compare card to card, the Nvidia cards have more processors so I don't know if two Xeon Phi's against two Tesla or Titans would be better or worse.

It seems that some companies just don't care about the illness that GPUGRID and World Community Grid are trying to figure out using the power of these GPU's. What a shame, so much that can be done.
