Boston (MA) - If you are attracted by the processing power of the Cell processor, but don't want to give up your existing PC environment or invest in a completely new workstation environment, Mercury may have a solution for you: The company offers a PCI express accelerator board with Cell processor that promises a whopping 180 GFlops performance boost.

The Cell accelerator board, short CAB, is another step to a commercial availability of the promising processor technology developed by IBM, Toshiba and Sony. According to Mercury, the device in fact is the first Cell-based product that can be bought outside of prototyping programs on a regular basis.
