Synopsis

Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated libspe2 package (re-based to upstream version 2.3.0-135) is now
available.
Description
The SPE Runtime Management Library, libspe, provides the standardized
low-level API for application access to the Cell Broadband Engine's
Synergistic Processing Elements (SPEs). This API is neutral with respect to
the underlying operating system and its SPE management methods.
This update re-bases the libspe 2.0 library to upstream version 2.3.0-135,
which adds ADA bindings to support the ADA programming language and applies
several bug fixes from upstream. (BZ#475619 and BZ#475637)
Users are advised to upgrade to this update.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
