Minimize recoding impact, Part 2: Removing obstacles to speedy performance
The first article in the series describes how to do a basic port to the Cell Broadband Engine process. This second article goes further in hammering out the details, including removing limitations based on DMA-transfer size, partitioning the program across multiple SPEs, and improving the program's speed even more. 		16 Oct 2007  
 
Minimize recoding impact, Part 1: How to make an SPE and existing code work together
Traditional porting requires identifying and abstracting out the architecture-dependent code: making code endian-independent, working through minor API differences, and including the appropriate header files and libraries. While this procedure works for getting code to run on the Cell Broadband Engine (Cell/B.E.) processor, to actually use the extra processing elements, you have to put in extra work, including reworking the code and rethinking the build process. In this series, learn to take advantage of the Synergistic Processor Elements (SPEs) in existing code and only make a minimal impact to the existing code and build process. 		04 Sep 2007
