I saw this link the other day [1], is anyone else looking into making a
Gentoo ISO for the PS3?
I took a look at the programming examples[2] (it's all in
'CellSDK11.iso') for the Cell BE on Linux. Modding the OpenGL/AL
libraries, as well as ffmpeg, etc to take advantage of the Cell's 7
128bit vector processing SPEs would really produce some spectacular
results.
The PS3 could be used as a MythTV frontend, a USRP/GnuRadio [3]
platform, a Blender development box, a PovRay [4] render box, and whole
host of other stream processors...
