I am working on the CELL processor for an academic project, and
unfortunately there does not exist tools to automatically utilize the
CELL processor with a conventional program. Running Linux on the CELL is
only utilizing the PowerPC component. The problem is that the CELL
processor can run VERY fast, but only if the 8 support processors are
utilized fully, but the program has to specially structured to utilize
the processors.
In short, it would probably be very easy to get it up and running, but
you will not gain much performance.
