[ydl-gen] quid ps3 linux after 2012 - addendum

[Derick Centeno]

John, that depends on what you choose to do.

Sony, as you know ended the option of supporting the OtherOS option
quite sometime ago.  Intel, has been moving for some years to producing
more multi-core based PCs, currently duo-core models are inexpensive,
quad-core are considered intermediate, and hex-core models are top of
the line.  I've read that 12-core and higher exist and are at various
stages of development.

You may not realize this but IBM has integrated what they learned in
building the PowerPC and the Cell into the multi-core systems which I
described.  In other words, the Cell is no longer the primary must have
hardware system; it lost that status quite sometime ago.

There are no Linux distributions actively developing either for the
PowerPC or the Cell.  Linux has moved on to develop for multi-core Intel
and similar systems.

It may interest you that YDL for CUDA, runs on Intel only.  See here:

Of course, that is merely my opinion.

All the best...
