Linux For Cell Processor Workstation
News for nerds writes "The Cell processor from Sony, Toshiba and IBM, has been known as the chip that powers the upcoming PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system, but except for that very little is known about how it's applied to a real use. This time, at LinuxTag 2005 from 22nd to 25rd June 2005, at Messe- und Kongresszentrum Karlsruhe, Germany, Arnd Bergmann of IBM will speak about the Cell Processor programming model under Linux, and the Linux kernel in the first Cell Processor-based workstation computer, which premieres at Linuxtag 2005."
but except for that very little is known about how it's applied to a real use.
And why are video games not considered to be "real use" ??
Can't wait!
Erm.
...
Just for the record: I think you meant "annals of history." "Anals of history" is
different.
In soviet russia cell processes YOU!
What's the point of better architectures when Apple is moving to the brain-fucked x86 ISA? It's hard to be enthusiastic about computing when you know the beast just got a new lease on life.
Perhaps you are in the wrong business or hobby. If inconsequential details like what CPU is sitting at the heart of Apple's proprietary design causes you emotional distress you really need to reconsider your life. Assuming of course that you are not in advertising and needed the faux x86/PPC conflict. If so please continue with your distress, otherwise, have you considered forestry?

Perfect solution
Excuse me, I don't mean to impose, but I am the ocean
That function name is way too long and descriptive. The acutal name would be something like addfunmemdestaddavsize().
And that would be followed by a series of non-sensical parameters which can be defaulted to NULL and everything still seems to work fine.
As for your question, that's why they make the big bucks and you are posting on Slashdot. If you knew the answer, you'd be working for them.

This is Slashdot, man. If we had a "life" to reconsider, we wouldn't be here.
I don't need a signature.
Anals of history is what Microsoft has contributed to.
Oh boy... maybe we should start a fund-raiser to save IBM, ya think?
I have a better idea. I'll send you my address and you send your worthless G5 to me! I'll even pay postage!
The dangers of excessive individualism are nothing compared to the oppressiveness of excessive collectivism
Maybe Apple would like to use a nice IBM chip :-)
I was talking to a friend about this new Cell processor they were going to have in the PS3, that was supposed to have all these nifty new capabilities, and he was looking at me like I'd grown another head. I asked him why he was looking at me so oddly, and he said, "Dude, Celerons are not that good."
Stasis is death. Embrace change.
Dear TurboBling,
:)
You seem to have a lot of drive and enthusiasm, which is obviously not finding a productive outlet, have you thought about getting some part-time work in IT? Perhaps try doing some volunteer work!
Maybe you've not yet graduated and are going through that 'difficult' stage. Girls don't seem to like you, the sporty kids bully you. We've all been there, it'll pass. The simple fact that is girls mature faster than boys.
In a few years, you'll look back on these days and laugh!
Anyway, take care.
AC.
NetBSD's motto is "Of Course it Runs NetBSD!!" Back before I had a computer that could run Linux, I had NetBSD on an old mac.
:-)
Ooh, aren't we the pretentious one!
Back before I had a computer, I had NetBSD running on an old sofa. Beat that!
Tedious Bloggy Stuff - hooray?
