| | Cell (microprocessor) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Also, Cell is optimized for single-precision calculations; for double-precision, as used in personal computers, Cell performance drops by an order of magnitude to levels similar to desktops. |  | | In the Cell the problem has been reversed: reading the data is no longer the difficult problem due to the complex encodings used in industry; today the problem is efficiently decoding that data into an ever-less-compressed version as quickly as possible. |  | | Due to the nature of its applications, Cell is optimized towards single precision floating point computation. |

| | Welcome to AnandTech.com [ Article: Understanding the Cell Microprocessor] |
 | | With an in-order microprocessor, you can’t reorder instructions based on data availability, so if data isn’t available in cache and the CPU has to wait longer to pull it from main memory, the entire CPU has to sit and wait until that data is brought in from main memory. |  | | Given that Cell was designed with a high performance per transistor metric in mind, its architecture does serve as somewhat of a blueprint for the technologies that result in the biggest performance gains, at the lowest transistor counts. |  | | There are microprocessor architectures that are dependent entirely on the compiler to extract parallelism, on the instruction level, while avoiding dependencies as much as possible. |

 | | Cell is the code-name for an advanced microprocessor that is being jointly developed by the trio for placement in next-generation computing application and consumer electronics. |  | | First announced in 2001, Cell was designed from the ground up for rich media processing as well as parallel and distributed computing. |  | | As a result, Cell can achieve ultra-scale high performance computing (HPC) more economically than by traditional means. |

 | | The architectural concepts contained in the CELL processor are hardly new, nor is the basic idea of shifting the burden of computing from hardware to software a newly discovered concept. |  | | However, in the configuration illustrated in figure 9, the maximum of 4 DRAM devices means that the CELL processor is limited to 256 MB of memory, given that the highest capacity XDR DRAM device is currently 512 Mbits. |  | | In particular, further details on the CELL processor were made available by Dr. Peter Hofstee from IBM at the Eleventh International Symposium on High Performance Computer Architecture (HPCA). |

 | | In its most basic form IBM's Cell does what computer architects have been doing since the first cache was invented — Cell moves a small bit of memory closer to the execution units, and lets the processor store frequently-used code and data in that local memory. |  | | The result is that a trend at the system level is somewhat replicated at the level of the microprocessor. |  | | What I've tried to illustrate with this diagram and the preceding ones is that there is a homology between the growth of on-die control logic that intervenes between the cache and the execution core and the growth of memory latency. |
