[mapguide-users] Alternate platforms for mapguide (ps3)

[Kenneth, GEOGRAF A/S]

I am working on the CELL processor for an academic project, and 
unfortunately there does not exist tools to automatically utilize the 
CELL processor with a conventional program. Running Linux on the CELL is 
only utilizing the PowerPC component. The problem is that the CELL 
processor can run VERY fast, but only if the 8 support processors are 
utilized fully, but the program has to specially structured to utilize 
the processors.

In short, it would probably be very easy to get it up and running, but 
you will not gain much performance.
