How to program Intel Xeon Phi with C#?

Question

I am a C# programmer with some C++ experience, all on Windows.

With this skill set, are there any options to develop for Intel Xeon Phi processor?

Found this link, but not sure if that's the best/only way.

Thanks for your advice.

Nice enthusiasm! What do you want to develop for which you need help here? — Nayan, Aug 12 '13 at 20:05
This question is off-topic (questions asking for resources are not suitable for SO), primarily opinion based, and too broad. — Austin Henley, Aug 12 '13 at 22:11
@AustinHenley Is off-topic also true if we add that you can hardly find any information about it using big search engines? I don't think there will be a religion war here, given that there are hardly any to find. — Csaba Toth, Aug 12 '13 at 23:07
I think theOP is asking whether it's possible to run .NET on a Xeon Phi card. Pity that too many readers misunderstood the question and chose to close it. — Dmitri Nesteruk, Nov 19 '13 at 16:39

Check out An Overview of Programming for Intel® Xeon® processors and Intel® Xeon Phi coprocessors for well .. an overview.

From the section:

Compiler and programming models

There are some recommendations we can make based on what has been working well for developers. For Fortran programmers, use OpenMP, DO CONCURRENT and MPI. For C++ programmers, use Intel TBB, Intel Cilk Plus and OpenMP. For C programmers, use OpenMP and Intel Cilk Plus.

Additional material regarding programming for Intel Xeon Phi coprocessors can be found at http://intel.com/software/mic.

A new book titled “Intel® Xeon PhiTM Coprocessor High Performance Programming, Volume 1: Essentials” by Jim Jeffers and James Reinders, © 2013, published by Intel Press, is expected to be available in early 2013.
