[x264-devel] Re: Optimizations for Cell Broadband Engine

[Abylai Ospan]

Hello !

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.
I can give access to this machine for anyone who can make this job :)
I have written to Guillaume Poirier at 03 Apr 2007 about this ... :)

Thanks !
