paradigm overload. I still don't understand what you're saying at the level you are. I'm guessing compiler optimization? They are not impressive now, but same was said jumping from: - 601 to 604e (split I/D cache, re-order buffer, branch prediction) - g3/75x to g4/75xx (altevec/VMX, SIMD, SMP) - g4 to g5/970 (64 bit, etc..) I'm not a Cell expert, but as I understand it the cell still has a Power core, but has the addition of several vector coproccessing units with a fast bus interconnecting them. > Specific recommendation: a mailing list with folks on it who know the > architecture and what was done to the kernel and perhaps some > octopiler guys. If this is the level you're discussing, check out http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/power/cell/ and you can join their existing developer forums. YDL-gen focusses at a little higher level than that. You don't see too much code-optimization, kernel or application developement on this list. -Bill > Maybe someone from the Y-HPC end Purpose of the list: > to help folks working on language and database tools to take > advantage of this new design. > > -T > -- > __________ > Ted Goranson > Sirius-Beta > _______________________________________________ > yellowdog-general mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.terrasoftsolutions.com/mailman/listinfo/yellowdog-general > HINT: to Google archives, try '<keywords> site:terrasoftsolutions.com' > -------------------------------------------- http://YDL.net - The online community for Yellow Dog Linux users _______________________________________________ yellowdog-general mailing list [email protected] http://lists.terrasoftsolutions.com/mailman/listinfo/yellowdog-general HINT: to Google archives, try '<keywords> site:terrasoftsolutions.com'
