OpenVZ on Cell

IBM developerWorks recently published the second part of the article describing OpenVZ on Cell BE processors.

Cell (Wikipedia article) is a very interesting microprocessor from IBM, which is based on 64-bit Power architecture, "but with unique features directed toward distributed processing and media-rich applications". Essentially, this is a hybrid CPU, combining traditional Power core and and eight specialized Synergistic Processing Elements (SPEs). Making OpenVZ kernel and tools SPE-aware is the main topic of the work being done.

Read the article: part 1, part 2, and wait for part 3.

Now all I need is Playstation 3 (which features Cell BE).

I think there is a lot of opportunities for Virtualization and OpenVZ in particular to work on appliances, like routers, switches, voip phones, etc
