Title:     The Potential of the Cell Processor for Scientific Computing

Abstract: authors: Williams, Shalf, Oliker, Kamil, Husbands and Yelick
Computational Research Division, 
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

"The slowing pace of commodity microprocessor performance improvements combined with ever-increasing chip power demands has become of utmost concern to computational scientists.  As a result, the high performance computing community is examining alternative architectures that address the limitations of modern cache-based designs.  In this work, we examine the potential of using the forthcoming STI Cell processor as a building block for future high-end computing systems......Overall results demonstrate the tremendous potential of the Cell architecture for scientific computations in terms of both raw performance and power efficiency."
