Feature: 'GDCTV: CELL - A New Platform for Digital Entertainment'

Gamasutra is proud to present GDCTV, a special feature showcasing streaming high-quality video content of some of the notable sessions of this year's Game Developers Conference. For this session, we're pleased to showcase SCEA's Mark DeLoura and Dominic Mallinson speaking extensively on "CELL: A New Platform for Digital Entertainment". The original presentation description for this lecture at Game Developers Conference 2005 simply explained: "This presentation gives an overview of the first CELL processor, and touches on Sony Computer Entertainment's software strategy." The lecture itself touches on topics including chip configuration, the practicals of programming CELL, the job queue, stream processing, the software-managed cache, and ends with a look at Sony's software plans. You can now access the current GDCTV streaming lecture for 'CELL: A New Platform for Digital Entertainment' (a brief, free registration process is required if you have not previously registered.)
