In recent production builds there is Sony Cell 64-bit Linux package. What is this? And how should we run it? On the Playstation3 ?
Or something like that http://lxer.com/module/newswire/view/87595/index.html [lxer.com] ?

UPDATE: Have found this - http://www.sidefx.com/index.php?option=com_forum&Itemid=172&page=viewtopic&t=9519&highlight=cell [sidefx.com]. Everything is clear now.

You know, that's a good question, that thread is from quite a while ago. At one point there was talk of a port for those pricey IBM cell servers, I'm not sure what the status is at this time.

I don't doubt you could run that on a cell machine running linux. Not clear if it's just a rendering package, though. The daily builds (more recent) don't have any Cell releases.

Cheers,
