PS3


Unclean

Recommended Posts

Dead today at work so I was doing some design level research on the Cell Processor. Kinda cool but very very technical.

 

64 bit PowerPC Core with eight separate math cores (SPE's) that handle single, double, floating point mathmatical funcitons. The core uses these to offload easy stuff so the main core can focus on speed. Also, the Cell has a buss so that if more than one Cell is connected, like internet, it can use the spare SPE's from a idle Cell for boost its computational power. Imagine your PS3's using the computational power of a bunch of PS3's linked together.

 

Only barrier right now is the speed and error correction of network infrastructures.
