====== SPM recovery edition 2017 ======

==== Project text ====
This is the {{ :magistraleinformaticanetworking:spm:progetto1718r.pdf |PDF}} of the first version of the project text. 

For the Histogram project, you may take into account [[cimglib1718|CImg]] for the image read/write activities. This only runs on the PHI KNL. I'll provide the students that will pick up this project an account on the PHI KNL, just moving their current account to this other machine (see instructions for the access here). 

==== Instructions to access the Xeon PHI ====

Look at [[http://didawiki.di.unipi.it/doku.php/magistraleinformaticanetworking/spm/spm1718|this page]]
