Maximizing the power of the Cell Broadband Engine processor: 25 tips to optimal application performance
نویسنده
چکیده
The Cell BE architecture consists of a 64-bit Power-compliant Processing Element (PPE) and eight Synergistic Processing Elements (SPEs), loosely coupled through a coherent memory sub-system. Through their programmability, the SPEs provide computational density advantage over conventional processors while still providing greater flexibility than traditional fixed function ASICs. The SPEs' instruction set and supported data types accommodate efficient computation for a wide variety of applications including network processing, cryptography, high performance computing (HPC), graphics geometry processing, transcoding, and others.
