IBM Releases Cell SDK

Posted by Zonk on from the toys-while-waiting-for-the-next-gen-consoles dept.

derek_farn writes "IBM has released an SDK running under Fedora core 4 for the Cell Broadband Engine (CBE) Processor. The software includes many gnu tools, but the underlying compiler does not appear to be gnu based. For those keen to start running programs before they get their hands on actual hardware a full system simulator is available. The minimum system requirement specification has obviously not been written by the marketing department: 'Processor - x86 or x86-64; anything under 2GHz or so will be slow to the point of being unusable.'"

      You DO realize that Dragon Ball ANYTHING is NOT cool? You know when you start explaining episodes to the hot girl you like... SHE DOESNT CARE!!! She most likely thinks you are mentally handicapped, so she tries to be nice and not hurt your feelings. Please, for the love of cherry toaster strudels, STOP THE MADNESS!
