I would imagine new middleware and Sony provided development kits and compilers will help ease the strain of programming for the cell. Though I know from my Java experience that I hate multi-threading hehe |
Nope it is more 1 SPE always controlled by< the OS another SPE must be freed on demand. The problem with the SPEs, while Compilers can do some things in the long run (Standard memory management in the SPE), there are many features that they can't handle. Things like an automatic load balancing are simply no option for SPEs.
