Cell Broadband Engine Docs: VIP Access

Posted by Hemos on from the locking-them-up dept.

I writes "The revolutionary Cell Broadband Engine Architecture (CBEA) is the result of collaboration among Sony, Toshiba, and IBM. The following papers define the Cell specification and will be posted to the IBM Semiconductor Solutions Technical Library in September. You can access them early as long as you have a current IBM ID."

    Getting and IBM ID is only slightly harder than getting a /. ID - fill in a form, click submit.

    I registered last week at work to get the documentation, though I have not yet had a chance to even take a quick look at it.

    But for what I do (communications and signal processing) the Cell looks really good - I think I could replace several DSPs and protocol processors with one Cell.
