CTK (Cell ToolKit) is a C/C++ toolkit library for multi-core programming on the Cell/B.E. http://ctk-dev.sourceforge.net/

We're pleased to announce the release of CTK Version 0.73, a minor bug-fix release of the CTK v0.7X.

What's new since 0.72:
* Fixed configure scripts. Now the configure handles "--host" and "--build" options properly (hopefully). It also takes care of the value of CHOST variable.
* Fixed compilation errors in C++ headers
* Fixed compilation errors against Cell SDK 3.0... read more

CTK Version 0.72 is a minor bug-fix relese of the CTK Version 0.71 (and 0.7).

What's new since 0.7 and 0.71:
* Fixed several bugs (there were minor bugs in mbox/signaling, DMA list and access hints)
* Added 2D DMA helper APIs and unaligned DMA transfer support
* Added SPE-task aware queue APIs (queue APIs which allow SPE tasks to yield SPE to others when they may block on a queue)
* Added some new samples code... read more

CTK's first public version is released.
CTK version 0.7 includes:
- Platform independent Cell programming library
-- SPE thread and context
-- Various synchronization primitives
-- SPE overlay task and runtime
-- Useful miscelaneous utility / helper APIs (e.g. profiling, DMA double buffering and etc.)
