Editing Cell Programming IBM

==Programming Frameworks==

Currently there are two programming frameworks to use (we don't intend to talk about © Sony SDK nor about the free community driven [http://psl1ght.net psl1ght] on this page). The Cell SDK is the most full featured and "supported" but is architecture specific, whereas the OpenCL should allow code portability to other accelerators (like GP-GPU's) however is from IBM alphaworks so should be considered beta.
