This package provides user space tools for Cell/B.E. Currently, it 
contains two tools:

- spu-top: provides a dynamic real-time view of the running
   system in regards to Cell/B.E. SPUs. It provides 3 view modes:
        * Per-Context: information about all instantiated SPU contexts.
        * Per-Process: information about each process that has associated
          SPU contexts.
        * Per-SPU: information about each physical SPU present on the
          system.

- spu-ps: a tool like ps, which dumps a report on the currently
   running SPU contexts.

Proper usage of the tools rely upon having an updated kernel, including 
the patches which add spu and contexts statistics to, respectively, 
sysfs and spufs.
