  abstract= "The current trend in processor design seems to focus on
     using multiple cores, similar to a cluster-on-a-chip model.
     These processors are generally fast and power efficient, but
     due to their highly parallel nature, they are notoriously
     difficult to program for most scientists. One such processor
     is the CELL broadband engine (CELL-BE) which is known for
     its high performance, but also for a complex programming
     model which makes it difficult to exploit the architecture
     to its full potential. To address this difficulty, this
     paper proposes to change the programming model to use the
     principles of CSP design, thus making it simpler to program
     the CELL-BE and avoid livelocks, deadlocks and race
     conditions. The CSP model described here comprises a thread
     library for the synergistic processing elements (SPEs) and a
     simple channel based communication interface. To examine the
     scalability of the implementation, experiments are performed
     with both scientific computational cores and synthetic
     workloads. The implemented CSP model has a simple API and is
     shown to scale well for problems with significant
     computational requirements."
