Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] decent, reasonably priced HDMI monitor the PS3

[Juha Vierinen]

BTW, terrasoft sells ps3 pre-installed with linux (and a root password
supplied). I have never even connected a monitor to my ps3.

But as to performance, has anyone measured decent performance on a
ps3? I am starting to think that it is not possible to achieve
anything near the theoretical peak performance. I am often getting
better performance with a intel core2 than on the 6+1 processors that
come with Cell. Intel c compiler often comes up with a faster program
just by autovectorizing a standard c program --  and this is compared
to something hand vectorized and paralellized for Cell. It could be
just that I'm not at all good at optimizing code, but this is also
true for some of the examples that come with the IBM SDK (eg. the
euler solver). The only thing that I have found to be impressive was
the cell optimized fft.
