Cell BE SDK Resources
- Cell Broadband Engine (Cell BE) Software Development Kit
(SDK)
Cell BE Software Development Kit provides everything Cell software developers need in order to create, build, simulate, and test Cell applications. It includes not only a cohesive set of development tools, but also a simulated environment capable of running the latest Linux kernel with Cell BE architecture extensions and run-time support. This simulated environment allows Cell programmers to develop and run Cell applications even without the access to a Cell BE hardware system. - Download the Cell BE SDK [IBM alphaworks]

- Cell BE SDK Code Sample: DMA Mechanisms - The multi-tiered memory model of the CBE allows for single buffered, double buffered DMAs using lists.
- Cell BE SDK Code Sample: Parallel Matrix Multiplication Workload - Matrix multiplication is a nice example of a function which the SPUs can accelerate dramatically.
