Programming Linux on Cell
Nora writes "developerWorks has posted a
slightly
expanded version of
the paper presented at LinuxTag today by
IBM's Linux-for-Cell maintainer
Arnd Bergmann (which was
mentioned
on Slashdot a few weeks ago).
I searched the LinuxTag site to post a link to their copy of the paper
also, but I couldn't find one (but my German is not so good, so it's
probably my fault). In addition to the abovementioned paper on the SPU file system, we have
also published an interview
with
Arnd Bergmann in which we learn more about programming for Linux on
Cell, and programming for
Cell
in general -- and also that there is no such thing as the so-called 'Cell
Workstation' that some of us have been looking
forward to for a long time (apparently, it's just the Blade board
prototype that many of us have already seen). And of course,
much more. "
