IBM Full-System Simulator
 Emulates the behavior of a full system that contains a Cell BE processor.
 Can start Linux on the simulator and run applications on the simulated
operating system.
 Supports the loading and running of statically-linked executable programs and
standalone tests without an underlying operating system.
 Simulation models
– Functional-only simulation
For code development and debugging.
– Performance simulation
For system and application performance analysis.

GCC and GNU Toolchain
 Base toolchain
– Based on GCC 4.1.1 extended by PPE and SPE support
– binutils 2.18, SPE newlib 1.15.0+, GDB 6.6+
New hardware support
– Code generation for SPE with enhanced double precision FP
Contains the GCC compiler for the PPU and the SPU.
– ppu-gcc, ppu-g++, ppu32-gcc, ppu32-g++, spu-gcc, spu-g++
– For the PPU, GCC replaces the native GCC on PPC platforms and it is a
cross-compiler on x86. The GCC for the PPU is preferred and the
makefiles are configured to use it when building the libraries and
samples.
– For the SPU, GCC contains a separate SPE cross-compiler that
supports the standards defined in the following documents:
• C/C++ Language Extensions for Cell BE Architecture V2.4
• SPU Application Binary Interface (ABI) Specification V1.7
• SPU Instruction Set Architecture V1.2

XL C/C++/Fortran Compilers
 IBM XL C/C++ for Multicore Acceleration for Linux, V9.0 (dual source compiler)
 IBM XL Fortran for Multicore Acceleration for Linux, V11.1 (dual source
compiler)
 IBM XL C/C++ Alpha Edition for Multicore Acceleration, V0.9 (single source
compiler)
– Allows programmer to use OpenMP directives to specify parallelism on PPE and
SPE

Eclipse IDE
 IBM IDE, which is built upon the Eclipse and C/C++ Development Tools
(CDT) platform, integrates Cell GNU tool chain, XLC/GCC compilers, IBM FullSystem Simulator for the Cell BE, and other development components in order
to provide a comprehensive, user-friendly development platform that simplifies
Cell BE development.

Cell IDE Key Features
 Cell C/C++ PPE/SPE managed make project support
 A C/C++ editor that supports syntax highlighting; a customizable
template; and an outline window view for procedures, variables,
declarations, and functions that appear in source code.
 Full configurable build properties.
 Integration of Cell BE Simulator into Eclipse
 Automatic makefile generator, builder, performance tools, and several
other enhancements.
 Support development platforms (x86, x86_64, Power PC, Cell)
 Performance tools Support .
 Automatic embedSPU integration

Class Objectives – Things you will learn
For this class, we will create a Cell BE virtual machine which
provides a Cell program development environment with a host
Linux system and the current release of Cell SDK 3.0 and tools
Make sure to have a fully Cell operational environment under
VMware player
–Fedora 7 as host
–Cell SDK 3.0
–system simulator systemsim-cell
–Cell IDE

Perform Cell VMware image installation
 Cell VMware image – Cell-VMWare-F7-SDK30
– Fedora 7 + Cell SDK 3.0 + IDE + XLC + Hands-on-30
 Assume your system is running under WinXP, and at least 512MB of RAM
– Copy all files to a windows directory, e.g., cellvm
• Cell-VMware-F7-SDK30-ddmm07.zip
• VMware-player-2.0.1-55017.exe (for Windows)
• VMware-player-2.0.1-55017.i386.rpm (for Linux)
– Unzip Cell-VMware-F7-SDK30-ddmm07.zip
– Install VMware player

Check for correct system installation
!
 Start the VMware Player
– Select the correct virtual machine configuration file
– For the first time run, answer all questions using the default selected options
– Wait for the complete boot of the guest Fedora 7, then login
• Userid: root
• Password: inn0vate
– Open a terminal session and do “cat /proc/version” or “uname –a”, you
should see the kernel version 2.6.22.9-91.fc7

Check for correct system components
 We should have at least the following directories
– /opt/cell (Cell SDK 3.0 installation script)
– /opt/cell/sdk (Cell SDK 3.0 top directory)
– /opt/cell/sdk/buildutils (Cell SDK 3.0 makefile files)
– /opt/cell/sdk/docs (Cell BE documentation)
– /opt/cell/sdk/src (Cell SDK 3.0 examples)
– /opt/ibm/systemsim-cell (Cell BE full system simulator)
– /opt/ibmcmp (IBM xlc and xlcpp)
– /home/student/eclipse (Cell BE Integrated Development Environment)
– /opt/cell_class (hands-on examples)

Check for IDE Operational
 cd /home/student/eclipse
 ./eclipse
Note: eclipse should come up after ./eclipse was typed. If you don’t see it, it is
probably hidden and running behind some foreground windows. To see it,
you click on the screen to bring the background to foreground.
