RapidMind, Terra Soft to make PS3 Linux devkit |
Ó
Not everyone has the know-how to learn the ins and outs of the Cell processor and the powers it's got, so for those people hoping to make some new apps for the PS3, WITHOUT having to go through the drudgery of reading up on the Cell, then you're in luck.
Two companies are teaming up to make a development kit that specializes in making Cell-based applications. According to the agreement between RapidMind and Terra Soft, RapidMind will be providing an evaluation version of their RapidMind Development Platform v2.0 for distribution on Terra Soft's YDL.net Enhanced accounts.
The RapidMind Development Platform will enable users to make programs and applications for all Cell-based hardware, which not only includes Yellow Dog Linux on the PS3, but other products from big companies like IBM and Sony. In other words, what they're bringing out won't just be for making PS3 apps. Serious programmers working on things like the Blade Center graphics server or the Roadrunner supercomputer would presumably be able to use the devkit to make their own programs.
Time will tell if this little partnership will work out. We're hoping it will though, mostly because we're waiting for a budding developer to release a PS3 version of Ponies and Kittens. Hardcore baby, hardcore.

Sony Must Start Helping Developers Adapt to the Cell Architecture,an d Provide them With Tools to Acheive Higher Performance at a Faster and Easier Rate.
It is Easy for us Gamerz to Wait and Judge a Game,But those Programmers are Having a Hard Time with a lot of Pressure to Provide Good Results.....Sony Must Make it Easier for them.
Not everyone is Like Square-Enix....With Huge Budget and Vast Staff,Middle size Studios will Have a Hard time Adapting to the New Design of the Cell..As it is a New Revolutionary Design.
Hopefuly....Sony will Understand that there is a Strong Competition Around....Arrogance wont Help,It is Doing Fine and the PS3 development is Easier than the PS2,But it still Needs To Help More..
Thankfully....Sony is Arrogant,But Not Foolish....They Should Start Moving By now.
this has nothing to do with real devs. it's only open to enhance yellow dog accounts.
