As far as i googled out, Phi coprocessor occurs logically as separate
network host. So it can be leveraged easily in two ways:
1) Running generic application straightly on it. You can ssh to the
coprocessor and do whatever you need in its internal Linux.
2) Using computation distribution technologies like MPI, OpenMP or NUMA.

But as far as i know, ffmpeg does not leverage any of MPI, OpenMP and NUMA.
