08/29/07: Today IBM announced the IBM Software Development Kit (SDK) for
Multicore Acceleration Version 3.0. The SDK provides everything you
need to develop and deploy applications for Cell/B.E. hardware. The
applications can be developed on a variety of platforms including x86,
x86_64, PowerPC, and Cell/B.E. hardware. See
more details on the announcement of the SDK and IBM BladeCenter QS21.
New from alphaWorks: IBM Assembly Visualizer for Cell Broadband Engine
: Download this new alphaworks tool that provides a graphical user
interface (GUI) for viewing the static analysis results of a Synergistic
Processing Element (SPE) program and that enables safe, interactive
hand-tuning of assembly.
Now available: IBM XL Fortran for Multicore
Acceleration for Linux on System p, Version 11.1
: Use this compiler to develop complex, computationally-intensive
programs, including interlanguage calls with C and C++ programs.
