Forums - Sony Discussion - GOW III developer gives PDF on PS3 development/general development

The EDGE toolset sychonizes the SPUs automaticly... that's awesome, but they still are not general purpose CPUs... nothing he can try to say will change that. They are called SPUs for a reason. Though I will agree that they are not co-processors. This will be very useful for PS3 only games that is for sure.

It depends what you mean by general purpose. They are certainly not Harvard architecture machines as some tend to think. From an application developer's perspective they can be used with reasonable efficiency for pretty much any task. This is what they mean by general purpose. The fact that they must be bootstrapped by the PPU (assuming this is what you are talking about) doesn't really affect them.

I was referring to Microsoft Foundation Classes.
Memory Flow Controller works better :P.

They use MFC?

 

Wrong MFC. Notice the lack of Hungarian notation madness.

True, it does look...normal.

I would like to hear the presentation that goes with this slide show.
