DESCRIPTION

int spu_run(int fd, unsigned int *npc, unsigned int *event);
Description
===========
The spu_run system call is used on PowerPC machines that implement the
Cell Broadband Engine Architecture in order to access Synergistic Pro-
cessor Units (SPUs). It uses the fd that was returned from spu_cre-

If NULL is passed as the event argument, these errors will result in a

RETURN VALUE
Return Value
============
spu_run returns the value of the spu_status register or -1 to indicate
an error and set errno to one of the error codes listed below. The
spu_status register value contains a bit mask of status codes and
optionally a 14 bit code returned from the stop-and-signal instruction
on the SPU. The bit masks for the status codes are:
0x02 SPU was stopped by stop-and-signal.
0x02
SPU was stopped by stop-and-signal.
0x04 SPU was stopped by halt.
0x04
SPU was stopped by halt.
0x08 SPU is waiting for a channel.

NOTES
Notes
=====
spu_run is meant to be used from libraries that implement a more
abstract interface to SPUs, not to be used from regular applications.
