STI Cell Processor

[Steven H. Rogers]

The Sony/Toshiba/IBM cell processor 
(http://go.theregister.com/feed/2005/01/13/ibm_cell_chip/) offers the 
potential for commodity priced parallel computing.  It seems that each 
cell will contain a PPC core and multiple vector processors, and 
multiple cells will fit on a chip.  STI hasn't said a lot about 
software, other than that code and data will be packaged together and 
distributed among available cells, local or remote, for processing.  
This sounds ideal for OZ.  Any comments?

Regards,
Steve
