    It's sounds like a replacement for libspe2 (even though it's built on top of it). The SPUlets manage their own scheduling and workload (PPU programs can participate too). The author claims better performance than libspe2 if number of "threads" > number of SPUs.

    He also has 2 real-world examples: OpenSSL and zlib.

    Do you think there will be a mid gen refresh console from Sony and Microsoft?
