Make the Most of IBM��s Breakthrough Cell Processor in Any Gaming, Graphics, or Scientific Application
IBM��s Cell processor delivers truly stunning computational power: enough to satisfy even the most demanding gamers and graphics developers. That��s why Sony chose the Cell to drive its breakthrough PlayStation 3 and why Cell processors are at the heart of today��s most powerful supercomputers. But many developers have struggled to create high-performance Cell applications: the practical, coherent information they need simply hasn��t existed.
Programming the Cell Processor solves that problem once and for all. Whether you��re a game developer, graphics programmer, or engineer, Matthew Scarpino shows you how to create applications that leverage all the Cell��s extraordinary power. Scarpino covers everything from the Cell��s advanced architecture to its powerful tools and libraries, presenting realistic code examples that help you gain an increasingly deep and intuitive understanding of Cell development.
Scarpino illuminates each of the Cell��s most important technical innovations, introduces the commands needed to access its power, and walks you through the entire development process, including compiling, linking, debugging, and simulating code. He also offers start-to-finish case studies for three especially important Cell applications: games, graphics, and scientific computing. The Cell platform offers unprecedented potential, and this book will help you make the most of it.
