		<title><![CDATA[Minimize recoding impact, Part 1: How to make an SPE and existing code work together]]></title> 
		<description><![CDATA[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.]]></description>

		<title><![CDATA[Minimize recoding impact, Part 2: Removing obstacles to speedy performance]]></title> 
		<description><![CDATA[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&apos;s speed even more.]]></description>
