First of all, this patent is ridiculous.
1) There is extensive prior art relating to shared-memory parallel architectures. The Cray X-MP came out in 1982.
2) The Cell does not use a shared-memory architecture for the SPU's.
3) They're not just suing Sony. They're also suing IBM. That's a really stupid move.
