Amiga Card PPC developing

[Trev]

There's an article in Dr. Dobb's this month about optimizing string searches on Cell processors (particularly for network threat assessment systems, in terms of Gbps). With production of the PS3 driving down the cost of the Cell and the PS3 itself being a mainstream, mass market system, it seems ridiculous not to have OS4 running on it.

EDIT: Sorry, that was slightly off-topic. How about a classic emulation with a PowerUP/WarpOS layer running natively on Cell? There you go.

And what's the return for someone willing to make such an investment? At 100 Euro each, 200% profit would be a breeze--probably more based on what people are willing to pay for used PPC cards. Cut that a bit after finding someone to insure the deal, and you've still made a nice little profit for such a small investment.

Or was bplan just looking for donations?
