[Cbe-oss-dev] MARS on Cell blades ? Cell image / video codecs?

[Werner Armingeon]

Hi all,

for a long time I follow the progress of MARS but I wonder if there are 
any other applications in development beside the two libraries delivered 
as samples. For obvious reasons googling for "MARS" and "Cell" is not so 
successful therefore my questions here:

- Are there more applications using MARS as a framework for Cell 
accelerated algorithms?
- Did someone use MARS on Cell blades with 2 Cell processors?
- Is MARS a good choice as a framework for applications targeted for 
Cell blades?

My special interest are applications / libraries with image / video 
compression algorithms showing hopefully on Cell a significant 
performance gain compared to standard CPUs. To find somewhere an Cell 
optimized 10 bit JPEG lossless codec would be fantastic, but even 
standard 8 bit JPEG would be nice.

Thanks a lot for any hints!

Werner
