The Cell Broadband Engine (or Cell/B.E.) is a revolutionary extension of conventional processor organization that provides power-efficient and cost-effective high-performance processing for a wide range of applications. This issue includes eight papers that provide descriptions of the Cell/B.E. Architecture, advanced security schemes, design and implementation of the Cell/B.E. using 90-nm and 65-nm CMOS silicon-on-insulator (SOI) processes, computational examples illustrating enhanced performance, Cell/B.E. blade server technology and applications, speech recognition, and software to automatically exploit the superscalar nature of the Cell/B.E. A nontopical review paper on polymer self assembly is also included.
