چکیده

In this paper, we propose the evaluation of MapReduce on the Cell processor by way of the Marchine Cubes application. We argue that the Cell architecture and the MapReduce parallel programming model complement each other well, and that the Marching Cubes application is a good application through which to evaluate this potential synergy. For the interested reader, a preliminary design and plan of evalution are both presented.

Cell Broadband Engine Support for Privacy, Security, and Digital Rights Management Applications

The multi-core design of the Cell Broadband Engine Architecture (CBEA) presents an interesting opportunity for advancing secure computing. One class of cores on a CBEA chip, the Synergistic Processor Element (SPE), can be put into isolation mode whereby it is physically isolated from the rest of the system. Unlike many other proposed security architectures, this protection does not rely on any ...
