[erlang-questions] Erlang and Larrabee CPU

[Kenneth Lundin]

The Erlang VM needs an operating system to run on.
Is there any OS that runs on the Larrabee?

I have never heard of anyone running Erlang on the Larrabee and we
have for sure never tried it and I don't really
understand why that would be very interesting.

Erlang can utilize a CPU with many general purpose cores or maybe act
as a controller running still running on geneal purpose cores but
administering jobs to be run on other special purpose cores.
The extra instructions available on Larrabee is nothing the current
Erlang VM can make benefit of.
