Yellow Dog and Cell Enthusiasts,

We are pleased to announce the creation of a new section of the Fixstars 
Solutions website, a tutorial for the Barcelona Cell Superscalar:
http://us.fixstars.com/showcase/cellebration/cell_ss/

		Introduction to the Cell Superscalar
		How the Cell Superscalar Works
		Cell Superscalar vs OpenMP
		Installing the Cell Superscalar
		Using the Cell Superscalar
		Performance Results for the Cell Superscalar

For many developers, the Cell Broadband Engine provides a complex challenge: 
how does one parallelize their code to use the SPEs efficiently.

The Cell Superscalar (CellSs) is a framework which can be used to aid in 
exploiting parallelism of a sequential program.

Many thanks to Akihiro Asahara of Fixstars for the original content, and to 
Rosa Badia of the Barcelona Supercomputing Center for her assistance in the 
final edits.

	--Enjoy!
