#1164 closed enhancement

Add support for PS3 — at Version 1

Platform: PowerPC

Description (last modified by wkornewald)

PowerPC support should arrive after R1, the PS3 could be an ideal target for Haiku due to its multi-threaded architecture, ie. translators and libraries could be optimized to use the Cell, giving the whole OS and applications that use the optimized components a performance boost.

Areas that need looking into are:

  • How does the boot process work
  • What devices are presented to an OS
  • What components of Haiku can be optimized to use the Cell BBE's SPU's
  • Is the memory layout to restrictive to make a port whorthwile

Note to anyone reading this - don't get excited - this isn't someone working on a PS3 port. Its not news. Nothing may come out of this.
