22C3: The Cell Processor

Speaker: Torsten Hoefler

Computing of Tomorrow or Yesterday

The x86 architecture has been the de facto standard for many years. Attempts to take the turn, like Intel tried with the VLIW Itanium Architetcture were desastrous. But the x86 architecture is not able to fulfil the demands of today's market. Several additions have been proposed (MMX,3dNow,SSE1-3), but the Cell approach takes them to the next level.

That's really a lot of bullshit the guy is telling in this video!

@subhendusaha It has no cache, no direct access to the system memory, a much more limited instruction set and only runs vectorized (SIMD) instructions. In other words, it's much less versatile.

how does synergid processing units differ from a core.
