Team, I thought this was interesting.
Why might we be interested in the release of Sony's PS/3 games console?
Because it contains a multi-core Cell processor - and can run Linux.
Fred and others - I am wondering if it is possible to release a KROC that targets this platform and takes advantage of the multiple processors inside the new Sony console. This would give a true parallel machine to run Occam-Pi. It could be used as a modern
'TDS' with several cores to run on.
Nine cores is very tempting - and rather cheap. I understand the YD Linux distribution doesn't fully use all cores, but perhaps an Occam-Pi build could? If we can piggy back on the interest in Linux, perhaps we might get more interest in the process-oriented-design
philosophy we’ve discussed on this group.
Some links below.
