What is the IBM Full-System Simulator for the Cell Broadband Engine (Cell BE) Processor?
In 2001, Sony, Toshiba, and IBM combined research and development efforts to create an advanced processor and system architecture for a new wave of devices in the emerging broadband era. As a result, the Cell Broadband Engine Architecture (CBEA) was designed in order to take advantage of IBM's most advanced semiconductor process technologies and to deliver high performance with good power efficiency.
Shortly after project inception, Sony, Toshiba, and IBM engaged the IBM Austin Research Laboratory to develop an IBM Full-System Simulator model for the processor and system architecture that would support software simulation and performance testing. Internally referred to as "Mambo," the simulator delivered vital feedback at various stages of the Cell BE project life cycle. An initial, functional simulation model was developed based on design specifications for preliminary validation, then validated against hardware-level simulators, and finally correlated with real hardware. The result was a completely integrated working system of Cell BE hardware and software that has been successfully launched alongside actual hardware delivery. The IBM Full-System Simulator for the Cell BE Processor enables development teams both within and outside IBM to simulate a Cell BE system in order to develop and enhance application support for this platform.
How does it work?
Written in C, a significant part of the Full-System Simulator's simulation capability is directly attributed to its simulation multitasking framework component.
