Intel(R) Parallel Studio XE 2017 emulator for linux (SDE)

Hi all,

I am a newbe for Parallel Studio,

I Trying to understand if there is a emulator that i can use and download that emulates the use of Xeon Phi Coprocessors.

As far as i know, I had found that there is a a SDE (sde-external-7.49.0-2016-07-07-lin.tar.bz2) that i can use.

Are there any pre requirements to this installation ?

What linux platform should i use ( or what is the most prefered by intel) ?

What does thhis SDE gives me ?

Is this SDE can emulate the use of multiple cores and the use of threads parallelism ?

And the last question, What is the best or prefered IDE that i can use ?

Thanks,

Nir Hadar
