Hello !<BR>
<BR>
I have Ps3 with gentoo installed. All required SDK's for Cell BE is also installed. I have compiled some simple examples which load code into Cell's SPU's and making simple functions.<BR>
I can give access to this machine for anyone who can make this job :)<BR>
I have written to Guillaume Poirier at 03 Apr 2007 about this ... :)<BR>
<BR>
Thanks !<BR>
