Coupled with Ozy/Mercury, and one mixer/frontend/tuner,we could all have SDR HDTV in a few weeks of development and the Cell can handle it. The memory bandwidth between the cell and MAIN MEMORY (not cache) is 29 GB/sec. The 8 SPE's each supports 0.25 Terraflops and many jobs can be

We need to figure out if we plan to support the PS3 in our plans, how we get data on and off the Cell based computer. So far as I have been able to find, the PS3 does not support USB (as in doesn't have it). All the specs I've read indicater 4 USB 2.0 ports in the front and 2 more in
