libspe2 bug fix and enhancement update
| Advisory: | RHBA-2009:1263-1 |
|---|---|
| Type: | Bug Fix Advisory |
| Severity: | N/A |
| Issued on: | 2009-09-02 |
| Last updated on: | 2009-09-02 |
| Affected Products: | Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server) |
Details
An updated libspe2 package (re-based to upstream version 2.3.0-135) is now
available.
The SPE Runtime Management Library, libspe, provides the standardized
low-level API for application access to the Cell Broadband Engine's
Synergistic Processing Elements (SPEs). This API is neutral with respect to
the underlying operating system and its SPE management methods.
This update re-bases the libspe 2.0 library to upstream version 2.3.0-135,
which adds ADA bindings to support the ADA programming language and applies
several bug fixes from upstream. (BZ#475619 and BZ#475637)
Users are advised to upgrade to this update.
