A complete Cell BE development environment, including Linux kernel for Cell BE blades, Linux support libraries, tool chains, system simulator, source code for libraries and samples, and a new, fully-integrated installation.
Tutorial Details:
The IBM Cell Broadband Engine™ (Cell BE) SDK, Version 1.1, is a complete Cell BE development environment. The SDK contains binaries and source code that are available for downloading from both alphaWorks and Barcelona Supercomputing Center's Web site. The SDK here on alphaWorks contains IBM-authored material, including Library and Samples Source Code, IBM XL C/C++ Alpha Edition for Cell Broadband Engine Processor (a compiler), and IBM Full-System Simulator for the Cell Broadband Engine Processor. The Barcelona Supercomputing Center's Web site contains open-source projects that have been modified for Cell BE Processor; these include GNU GCC compilers for PPU and SPU, Linux Kernel 2.6.16, SPE Library support, NUMA support, and a system root image for the Full System Simulator.
How does it work?
The "cellsdk" installation script automatically downloads the required files from Barcelona Supercomputing Center. The ISO image, which can be burned to a CD, includes all of the IBM SDK material, installation script, and Cell BE documentation in one easy-to-use package.
IBM Cell BE SDK Version 1.1 contains a number of significant enhancements over Versions 1.0 and 1.0.1, and it completely replaces those previous SDKs. These enhancements include the following:
* Linux kernel (2.6.16) and library support for Cell BE-based blade servers contain two Cell Broadband Engine Processors for a total of 16 SPEs.
* PowerPC 64-bit hardware, such as Apple Power Mac G5 and IBM PowerPC, is a supported development platform.
* C++ support has been added to the XL C compiler for PPU applications.
* Support has been added for GDB server running in both PPEs and SPEs.
* The GNU GCC compiler for PPU and SPU programs has been upgraded to Version 4.0.2.
* Binutils have been upgraded to Version 2.16.1.
* Additions and updates to the libraries and samples include a new sample that ray traces the quaternion Julia Set.
* Added support for Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA) improves the performance of memory accesses between SPEs.
* Improved installation uses a completely revamped process and RPMs.
