The Cell/B.E.™ resource center is a good starting point
for developers looking for information about IBM Cell/B.E.
technology-based software.
Editor's note: This Cell Broadband Engine resource center
replaces the former developerWorks Multicore acceleration
zone and the former developerWorks Power
Architecture™ zone. For information that is not addressed in this
Cell/B.E. resource center, you can read and post your
questions on the
forums.
The QS22, based on the new IBM PowerXCell™ 8i multicore
processor, offers extraordinary single-precision and
double-precision floating-point computing power to accelerate key
algorithms, such as 3D rendering, compression, encryption,
financial algorithms, and seismic processing.
To enable you to take full advantage of the Cell/B.E.
architecture and the PowerXCell 8i processor, IBM has
developed a software development kit designed to accelerate
production-ready, multicore programming.
The IBM Software Development Kit (SDK) for Multicore
Acceleration provides the libraries, tools, and
resources that businesses need to develop and tune
applications for Cell/B.E. technology. The IBM SDK for
Multicore Acceleration enables you to easily:
- Port and optimize applications and algorithms quickly
- Increase ease of programming and developer
productivity
- Obtain a reliable development toolkit with warranty and
support
- Plug in third-party ISV libraries to integrate and build
your software ecosystem
