Software developer kit for Cell chip
|
The kit, which contains more than 1,000 pages of documentation, includes extensions for optimizing the chip for Linux applications and other features. Jointly developed by IBM, Sony and Toshiba, the Cell processor is designed to handle complex, graphics-intensive applications better than standard processors. The chip is built around a PowerPC core, but contains eight helper processors that can handle audio, video and other tasks.
[Ahhh, Sony. You hate us. You hate us not! Rootkits on the one hand, and nice cell chip favorable to GNU/Linux on the other. Just another day in the wild, wild world of tech! - Ed]
