In linux kernel since version 3.10 (release Date: 2013-06-30)
This enables SCIF Driver support for the Intel Many Integrated
Core (MIC) family of PCIe form factor coprocessor devices that
run a 64 bit Linux OS. The Symmetric Communication Interface
(SCIF (pronounced as skiff)) is a low level communications API
across PCIe currently implemented for MIC.
If you are building a host kernel with an Intel MIC device then
say M (recommended) or Y, else say N. If unsure say N.
More information about the Intel MIC family as well as the Linux
OS and tools for MIC to use with this driver are available from
