The Cell Broadband Engine[TM] (Cell/B.E.) processor is the first implementation of the Cell Broadband Engine Architecture (CBEA), developed jointly by Sony, Toshiba, and IBM. In addition to use of the Cell/B.E. processor in the Sony Computer Entertainment PLA YSTA TION[R]3 system, there is much interest in using it for workstations, media-rich electronics devices, and video and image processing systems. The Cell/B.E. processor includes one PowerPC[R] processor element (PPE) and eight synergistic processor elements (SPEs). The CBEA is designed to be well suited for a wide variety of programming models, and it allows for partitioning of work between the PPE and the eight SPEs. In this paper we show that the Cell/B.E. processor can outperform other modern processors by approximately an order of magnitude and by even more in some cases.

This report addresses the question of how product innovation occurs. In other words, where does it originate and what induces it? The aim of the authors has been to expand upon and systematize the research presented in our previous study (Orihata, M., Watanabe, C., Technovation, in press) through the application of a new, evolutionary approach. We have chosen to focus on the consumer electronics industry, taking as our case studies three producers of revolutionary products such as Sony's video camera, Sharp's PDA (Personal Digital Assistance) and Toshiba's notebook personal computer. These examples have the virtue of encompassing both visual and text-based data transmission devices, as well as hand-script input and keyboard input methods. The main point we shall consider here is the stage that takes place before product innovation occurs, the process that we have termed 'institutional inducement', which forms part of the feedback loop between the market, or environment, and the producer. Because this process is 'a flow of information and knowledge' we have structured it using a semiotic methodology, which has led us to conclude that product innovation is induced by the creation of new product concepts. In accordance with this, we propose that the evolutionary, dynamic pattern of product innovation is linked to the institutional trajectory.

Digital audio recording systems are seen as an affordable answer to achieving CD sound quality recordings. A comparison is made between the Philips Digital Compact Cassette (DCC) and the Sony Mini Disc (MD). The DCC and MD can record large amounts of data. However, both systems lose certain digitized sounds during recording to make room for more data storage. The MDs are more durable and provide longer playing time. While the DCCs have less probability of data loss. Both products are to be launched soon leaving consumers to decide on which one they prefer.

Computer manufacturers are steadily making computers more compact. IBM Corp and Sony Corp are two of many companies developing writing tablet-sized computers that can accept data written with an electronic pen. This 'pentop' technology may be available by 1997.
