An introduction to compiling for the Cell Broadband Engine architecture, Part 1: A bird's-eye view
This five-part tutorial series helps you understand the Cell Broadband Engine (Cell BE) architecture and gives you a basic intuition for programming issues on it, insight into the compiler challenges presented by it, and an understanding of the techniques and solutions proposed by the IBM compiler. In Part 1, meet the Cell BE processor from a compiler-writer's perspective, and get a bird's-eye view of a number of the unique challenges it poses. Part 1 provides useful background information relevant to the other tutorials in the series.

SoC design with CoreConnect: 128-bit PLB explained
CoreConnect is based on three buses: the Device Control Register (DCR), the Processor Local Bus (PLB), and the On-chip Peripheral Bus (OPB). This architecture lets you connect your IP to the bus that's most suited to it. The objective of this tutorial is to describe the steps required to design a PLB4 IP. PLB4 is the latest 128-bit version of PLB, which is the backbone of CoreConnect. Learn how to design a system-on-chip (SoC) using PLB4, the latest 128-bit version of PLB. Upon completion of this tutorial, you will be able to implement, test, and debug 128-bit PLB IPs for 4xx, 7xx, and 9xx PowerPC cores.
