Thank very much for this answer, so my last question will be: is it possible to use the LLVM JIT on a PS3 with Yellow Dog 6.2 distribution, instead of the LLVM interpreter, by using the PPE as it seems to be similar to 64-bit PowerPC processors? 2009/12/18 Scott Michel <scooter.phd at gmail.com> > Jerome: > > No, there are no plans to JIT to SPU.

Jerome: No, there are no plans to JIT to SPU. That's considerably more complicated -- you'd have to figure out when to JIT to the SPU and live with all of the constraints that the SPU imposes (data reformatting, r/w DMA, ensure your code lives in 256K unless you can manage to interface with the virtual I-cache work.) Basically, it's not trivial and it doesn't quite fit into the
