Version 2.0 provides additional libraries and improved compiler tools.
CellSDK20.iso
230MB
md5sum:767579afd0e55ad1fdc5f743ec5f0efa
Cell SDK 2.0 ISO 9660 Image containing IBM software and documentation for the Cell Broadband Engine Software
SDK 2.0 contains a number of significant enhancements over previous versions of the SDK and completely replaces these SDK versions.
These enhancements include:
v Upgraded Linux kernel to 2.6.18, added performance enhancements and support a combined PPU and SPU Kernel debugger.
v Upgraded GNU GCC tools to version 4.1 and XLC Compiler to version 8.1.
v Improved SPU debugger and added support for a combined Power Processing Unit (PPU) and Synergistic Processing Unit (SPU) debugger.
v Added programming model frameworks including SPU code overlays, an accelerator framework for offloading work to SPUs, and software managed cache.
v Added SIMD math library for PPU and SPU, revamped LibC library for SPU, and added MASS/V libraries for PPU.
v Added support for performance modeling of memory subsystem components and interactions.
v Added Cell BE-specific post-link code optimization tool (FDPR-Pro).
v Added Eclipse Integrated Development Environment (IDE) support for building, compiling and debugging Cell BE applications. The IDE uses the underlying SDK tools including compilers, debugger and system simulator.

Direct dl 2.1: Here
| Quote: |
* upgrading of Linux kernel to 2.6.20 with enhancements for preemptive scheduling of SPE tasks, SPE logical affinity support, and improved performance via 64 KB Local Store page mapping.
* standardization on the new SPE Run-time Management Library (libspe2). The older and less functional libspe 1.x is being deprecated in this release.
* migration of example libraries and code to libspe2. A migration guide is provided to help move existing applications to libspe2.
* enhancements and improvements to the Accelerator Library and Framework (ALF), including additional examples that use ALF
* improvements and additions to SIMD math library
* addition of SIMD MASS and vector MASS libraries for SPE
* addition of example benchmarking code to measure and report on the performance of a representative set of DMA operations
* addition of GNU GCC, XL C/C++ compiler, and Full-System Simulator support for an enhanced CBEA-compliant processor with a fully-pipelined, double-precision SPE
* addition of a sample DMA channel profiling tool
* support for cycle count-profiling of code running on the SPE using OProfile
* addition of the Cell Performance Counter utility, which can be used to monitor and count cell performance events
* improved PPE model in the Full-System Simulator for better performance correlation across the Cell Broadband Engine
* improved integration between Full-System Simulator and Eclipse IDE for Cell Broadband Engine
* addition of Linux man pages for some libraries and tools
* upgrading of XL C/C++ compiler version to 0.8.2
* upgrading of binutils version to 2.18 prerelease
* upgrading of GDB version to 6.6
* upgrading of newlib version to 1.15.0.
