IBM downloads
This month, we fill this space with profiles of the all the cutting-edge (and proven and deployed) downloads you can find at IBM.
- First, stop at the downloads in the developerWorks Power Architecture technology zone (in the left-column navigation space). This takes you to core designs, evaluation kits for the various PowerPC® lines, toolkits, firmware, and some references for embedded systems and microprocessors.
- Building from that Web page, if you want to expand your choice of technologies to download, simply select the All technology downloads link under the "Related links" category. This gives you a choice of types of technologies (POWER™, AC, XML, Java™, Linux™, grid, SOA and Web services, Web architecture, wireless, open source) to search through, or you can ask for it by brand name.
- Back at the Power Architecture zone page, we even highlight Power Architecture™-related technology downloads. About mid-way down the Web page you'll find the Downloads and CDs section that points to Power-related resources for you to discover.
- Another resource for you to download is the IBM Journal of Research and Development. It can help keep you in the loop for the latest on Power advances -- for example, right now it is offering a sneak peek at some early papers on POWER5™ architecture and packaging.
- IBM Semiconductor Solutions maintains a technical library of manuals, notes, updates -- everything you need to stay on top of the ever-changing world of processor design and fabrication. It even keeps a selection of evaluation kits and debuggers.
- IBM alphaWorks is the home of emerging technologies downloads.
