One Day Workshop on
IBM Cell/BE Programming
|
|
Introduction
The Cell Broadband Engine (Cell BE) grew as a result of research conducted
by teams from IBM Systems Technology Group, Sony and Toshiba, to lead the
development of a novel architecture that represents a breakthrough in
performance for consumer applications. The Cell BE is a heterogeneous chip
multiprocessor that consists of an IBM 64-bit Power Architecture core
augmented with eight specialized co-processors based on a novel single-instruction
multiple-data (SIMD) architecture called Synergistic Processor
Unit (SPU) and theoretically is suitable for data-intensive processing. The first major
commercial application of Cell was in Sony's PlayStation 3 game console.
For more information on Cell see
IBM Cell Website.
On Thursday, Ordibehesht 2, 1389 (2010/04/22) the IPM School of
Computer Science will host a one-day IBM Cell Programming Workshop.
The workshop consists of a series of lectures and hands-on exercises in a
Cell development environment to familiarize the students with Cell basic programming skills.
