[vsipl++-announce] Live Webcast: Cell Broadband Engine by IBM and CodeSourcery

[Mark Mitchell <mark@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Attached is an announcement about a joint presentation by IBM and
CodeSourcery regarding the Cell Broadband Engine and some of the signal-
and image-processing library development that CodeSourcery is doing for
the Cell/B.E.  This presentation will take place on November 15th, at
2PM EST/11AM PST.

Max Aguilar, an IBM Master Inventor, will be explaining some of the key
aspects of the Cell/B.E. hardware platform.  I will talk about Sourcery
VSIPL++ for the Cell/B.E., as well as two lower-level programming
interfaces that will also be useful to developers of high-performance
signal and image-processing programs.

CodeSourcery SIP Primitives for the Cell Broadband Engine(TM)
Creating High Performance, Low Latency Signal Processing Applications 
with the Cell Broadband Engine



Live webcast 
November 15th-
2pm ET/ 11am PT

http://w.on24.com/r.htm?e=96733&s=1&k=66A24D760DE02DE3957621DCA9569C18&partnerref=osp



 The first part of this eCast will discuss two key features: an examination of cache locking and bandwidth reservation that are amenable to real-time operating systems, and a methodology for achieving low latency small message transfers. 
 

 
The second part of this eCast explores Sourcery VSIPL++ from CodeSourcery, a high-level, multi-processor signal and image processing toolkit and implementing the VSIPL++ API, a portable, open standard for SIP application programming. Particularly, the presenter will discuss the development of CodeSourcery SIP primitives for Cell/B.E. Sourcery VSIPL++ can automatically distribute computation across multiple Cell/B.E. processors and take full advantage of the SIP primitives and the IBM SDK. Details of this library will be explained as well as the advantages of Sourcery VSIPL++, current performance results and future development roadmap for Cell/B.E.
