A load of new patents..

[nAo]

PPU (AGEIA?):
Physics processing unit

And a big load of new CELL related patents:
Centralized bandwidth management method and apparatus
System and method for compiling source code for multi-processor environments
System and method for processor thread for software debugging
System and method for solving a large system of dense linear equations
System and method for processor dedicated code handling in a multi-processor environment
System and method for virtual devices using a plurality of processors
System and method for encrypting data using a plurality of processors
System and method for manipulating data with a plurality of processors

No time to read them but it seems they patented some pratical implementations of common techniques running on (and optmized for..) CELL processors.

Bravo nAo .

 

[darkblu]

System and method for manipulating data with a plurality of processors

a particularly intriguing one

 

[Farid]

System and method for encrypting data using a plurality of processors

This patent is really interesting for me. Many thanks to you nAo!

nAo, I have to wonder how you stay so on top of all this stuff - but thanks for doing it!

It's really simple..I just spend 15 minutes a week checking some names or some keywords, that's all folks

Yeah whatever nAo! We know it takes you hours and hours each week. Why do you have to be posting like that, making everyone else feel lazy.

 

[Shifty Geezer]

Is there anything interesting in these then? Anyone who's read them care for a 'Reader's Digest' version?

 

[Megadrive1988]

nice work nAo, no matter how much, or how little time it takes you.
