IBM Full-System Simulator for the Cell Broadband Engine Processor
Got the Cell Broadband Engine? Use the system simulator to monitor functionality and performance at the instruction-set level. Don't have the Cell Broadband Engine (yet)? Use the system simulator to develop, run, and evaluate Cell BE software stack solutions on the Linux operating system. Loosely based on TSIM, the IBM Full-System Simulator includes the CBEA and other Power Architecture implementations including caches, buses, interrupt controllers, PCI, disks, and other memory mapped devices. The system simulator was updated for the Cell BE SDK 2.0 to support performance simulation for the SPU and basic operations and interactions of the memory subsystem. | |
| |
IBM Integrated Development Environment for Cell Broadband Engine SDK
Rapidly build Cell BE applications with this set of Eclipse plug-ins that integrate the Cell BE tool chain. The IDE was updated for SDK 2.0 to better support the System Simulator, XL C/C++ compiler, and GDB combined debugger. | |

IBM PowerPC 405 Evaluation Kit with CoreConnect SystemC TLMs
The PEK enables designers to evaluate, build, and verify SoC designs. The first version of this kit is an SoC analysis framework which includes the IBM ChipBench System Level Design (ChipBench SLD) tool and a set of SystemC transaction-level architecture models. These models are designed to enable embedded software development and performance analysis for consumer applications based on Power Architecture technology. | |

IBM PowerPC Multi-Core Instruction Set Simulator
The IBM PowerPC Multicore Instruction Set Simulator (ISS) is a software simulator for PowerPC 405/440/464 cores. The ISS is designed to enable software and hardware engineers to execute code compiled for PowerPC processors. The ISS is designed to simultaneously support multiple PowerPC cores enabling development of multiprocessor software. This package includes the RISCWatch debugger software. The RISCWatch debugger is used to load software and control software execution. A quick-start tutorial and example code is included in the package. The ISS and RISCWatch programs must both be downloaded and installed. | |

Linux on Cell BE-based systems
The Linux on Cell BE-based systems Web site at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) provides information about how to enable Linux on Cell Broadband Engine-based systems. | |
| |
Open source Slimline Open Firmware
The SLOF source code provides a largely machine-independent BIOS and illustrates what's needed to initialize and boot Linux, a hypervisor, or any other operating system or virtualization layer on PowerPC-based machines based on the de-facto industry boot standard. This download is made available under a liberal Open Source Software (OSS) license. | |

PowerPC Microprocessor Family: The Programming Environments for 32-Bit Microprocessors
The primary objective of this manual is to help programmers provide software that is compatible across the family of 32-bit PowerPC processors. Because the PowerPC architecture is designed to be flexible to support a broad range of both 32 and 64-bit processors, this book provides a general description of features that are common to PowerPC processors and indicates those features that are optional or that may be implemented differently in the design of each processor. | |
| |
Synergistic Processor Unit (SPU) instruction set architecture
Somewhere between a general-purpose processor and special-purpose hardware lies the Cell SPU: designed to provide leadership performance in game, media, and broadband applications, this document describes the Instruction Set of the Synergistic Processor Unit (SPU). Get to know all of its instructions. | |
| |
The Programming Environments Manual for 64-bit Microprocessors
This manual (pdf) is to help programmers provide software that is compatible across the family of PowerPC processors. This book provides a general description of features common to PPC processors and indicates those features that are optional or that may be implemented differently in the design of each processor. This book is for only 64-bit processors. | |
