Linux For Cell Processor Workstation

Posted by timothy on from the interesting-things-on-the-horizon dept.

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."

    Wow... someone missed the point a tad. Violent liberalists eh? Liberalists sure, but violent, thats a bit harsh and not something that you could really aim at most nerds/geeks on /. what are we going to do attack Bush with a pocket calculator?

    Oh, and dude... "open-saucers"? Check your misguided and vaguely insulting comments before posting them, for someone with a supposed PhD in moecular biology I would expect better.

    I've not even got started on the implication that people who use open source software are also paedophiles. Where did that come from?
