Can we dual boot on Intel Xeon MIC card? -
i'm using rhel machine host mic0 coprocessor. have mpss3.2.3 installed on mic0 .
i wanted know if can apply concept of dual boot , can install mpss3.3. on boot screen can select kernel want work on. can install different kernel versions , can select 1 work on eg.: windows or linux, same way can have setup give me previledge of installing different kernel versions of mpss on mic0 coprocessor.
if yes, how? if no , why not?
thanks
it's possible bit involved (my scripts convert standard rpm base automatically multi version setup 3000 lines of shell code ....)
a) unpack *rpm packages using rpm2cpio
, cpio
location, /opt/intel/mpss/version
instead of installing them directly
b) create custom script load/unload mpss mic.ko driver
c) set path/ld_library_path/mic_ld_library_path
.... suitable values
d) create custom somepath/etc/mpss.version
directory , conf files - important correct pointers bzimage , initrd
e) start mpssd via: /opt/intel/mpss/version/usr/sbin/mpssd -d somepath/etc/mpss.version
f) execute micctrl -b
command with: mpss_configdir=somepath/etc/mpss.version micctrl -b
that way mpssd
, micctrl
in right places config files, , independent standard locations
