Cell/B.E.™ Linux Components

stroke

This site hosts all the open source components that are part of the IBM Software Development Kit (SDK) for Cell BE. The open source derived packages from SDK 3.1 that you can find at this site are:

Fedora 9 Linux Kernel for the Cell BE Pre-compiled kernel binaries, patches and instructions to enable Fedora 9 Linux Kernel on Cell BE.
GNU Toolchain and GDB for the Cell BE's PPU/SPU Pre-compiled binaries and sources of the GNU toolchain to generate code for the Cell BE's Synergistic Processing Elements (SPE) and the GDB debugger for SPE.
SPE Runtime Management Library Version 1.2
(deprecated)
Old library interface established on top of the spufs programming model.
SPE Runtime Management Library Version 2.2 Standardized SPE Runtime Management Library (libspe2).
Crash SPU Commands SPU-specific commands for crash tool.
Oprofile System-wide profiler for Linux systems, capable of profiling all running code at low overhead.
Sysroot Image for System Simulator System root image for the system simulator that contains a disk image of F9 files, libraries and binaries that can be used within the system simulator.
netpbm The netpbm package contains a library of functions which support programs for handling various graphics file formats, including .pbm (portable bitmaps), .pgm (portable graymaps), .pnm (portable anymaps), .ppm (portable pixmaps) and others.
SPU tools Two useful programs, spu-ps and spu-top, equivalent to ps and top Linux programs but intended for Cell/B.E. SPUs.

The IBM components and associated documentation are found at IBM developerWorks as three different package types: Developer, Product, and Extras.
