Larrabee, the future computing platform for hardware accelerated programming was planned to be released as a kind of graphics card. However, due to delays in the development of the product Intel decided to change plans and not to release a Larrabee graphic card.  However, cooperations with development partners are likely ongoing and maybe we will see a non-graphic card version of Larrabee which will solve all our programming requirements for building fast medical image processing algorithms … let’s see what the future holds :-).
