The Cell Broadband Engine™ (Cell BE) architecture is a new architecture which extends the 64-bit Power Architecture™ technology. Ideal for compute-intensive tasks like gaming, multimedia, and physics- or life-sciences and related workloads, the Cell BE is a single-chip multiprocessor no bigger than a fingernail, with nine processors operating on a shared, coherent memory. The Cell BE processor contains a Power Architecture-based control processor (PPU) augmented with eight (or more) SIMD Synergistic Processor Units (SPUs) and a rich set of DMA commands for efficient communications between processing elements.
Version 1.0.1 of the Cell BE SDK is a developer update with bug fixes and new features, including: the Linux® kernel 2.6.15, containing "Bogus Network" support and enabling direct mapping of the SPE Problem State; an extended PPC-RPM package with support for networking and the 64-bit run-time environment (glibc64); updates to the SPE Management Library, the SPU Debugger, and documentation; as well as new technical articles and PPC Fedora Core 4 support for the system simulator and defect fixes for libraries, workloads, and samples. |
