Use the task context and bundled work block distribution to overcome a local memory limit.  More >
Forum watch: What's the difference between PS3 and blade performance?: Check it out! Plus, learn how to balance SPU instructions between pipelines, how to implement 2D FFT, how to tell when an ALF workblock is done, and more.
Infobomb: Programming with BLAS: Basic library structure: A quick read on the BLAS library's basic structure of PPE and SPE interfaces.
Evaluating IBM BladeCenter QS21 hardware performance: Explore performance issues on a two-Cell/B.E. system.
Fun with ALF, Part 3: Finding minimum and maximum values: Use the task context to combine partial task instance results into the final result in this example.
Infobomb: Programming with DaCS: Error handling: A quick read on DaCS error handling with a code example and details on seven error APIs.
The little broadband engine that could: DaCS--flexible and complex: See how you can tune inputs and results with DaCS more gracefully in this fractal-generating example.
(Coming soon) The little broadband engine that could: Optimizing DaCS: Understand why DaCS might not show performance gains, and learn how to fix that.
