Subject: Using video memory on PS3 e.g. as SWAP?
Date: Sun, 29 Jul 2007 19:04:55 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200707291904.55700.rene@exactcode.de> (raw)
Hi all,
looking at the PS3 as one of the few PowerPC workstation options the RAM
is obviously quite limitted with just 256MB. I wonder if the 256MB of
video memory can be mapped or at least be used as super-fast SWAP?
Or are there news regarding accessing the video chip from Linux beside
the unaccelerated frame-buffer?
Regards,
