Notes: Each node has two PowerXCell 8i processors. Each one of them has one dual threaded Power Processor Element (PPE), which manages system and distributes tasks to its eight(8) associated Synergistic Processor Elements (SPEs). The SPEs are highly efficient single-instruction, multiple-data (SIMD) processing units optimized for computation and data movement.
