Projects

Develop applications that run on the high performance multicore microprocessor “Cell Broadband Engine™”.
Cell/B.E. has 9 computational cores, which results in a more complex hardware configuration than single core microprocessors common in PCs and other devices. Accordingly, program development has become more complex, and time consuming program optimization is also required. In the Cell Business Department we utilize our in-house knowhow to cut down development time for high performance applications, and contribute to improving application quality and decreasing customer costs.

By utilizing servers equipped with Cell/B.E. this project speeds up the valuation systems for “exotic derivatives” which have very complex valuation processes even when compared to other types of derivatives.	This project aims to contribute to society by realizing the enhancement of medical devices such as for CT and MRI, through the utilization of the Cell/B.E.
Developing a H.264 (video compressing technology) encoder based video broadcasting system on the Cell/B.E.	This project focuses on the development of image processing software for the Toshiba developed media oriented coprocessor, the SpursEngine™ which inherits the Cell/B.E. architecture.
Development of core technology to upconvert SD size (analog TV) videos on the Cell/B.E. to HD size.	Researching and developing a “physics engine” that will fully utilize the powers of Cell/B.E.
Focused on optimizing “OpenCV”, which is an open source computer vision library on the Cell/B.E.
