Great. Will be interesting to find out how it goes, and how well it performs.

Regarding performance, the Cell CPU works very differently to most CPUs and not like normal multicore CPUs where each core is a full processor. The Cell has the main PPE CPU that is based on 64-bit PPC but isn't the same as other existing PPC processors like the G5. But it does contain the PPC instruction set which is why PPC versions of Linux can be compiled to run on the PS3. But these will only utilise the main PPE CPU and not the SPE cells. A better compiler will be needed to arrange the code in a way to allow the PPE to do this, and I expect this could take some time to happen, if at all.
