Really finding the best
[quote]
One of the big problems with Cell, said Justin Rattner, an
Intel Fellow, is that the processing units aren't identical, a
situation that increases complexity and the opportunity for
bugs.

Yeah this would be as insane as a modern OS (like Mac OS
X) utilising both a CPU and GPU, or a CPU with a vector
processing unit (Altivec). How does Apple do it with
all that complexity;-)
