could someone point me to some documentation of the PPU and SPU machine-code? I can't find any for the cell, although it's easy to find it for other cpus. or is it not public yet? I was seeking on the IBM-pages as well, but...

Thx in advance!

Are you interested in spus ABI?

http://www-01.ibm.com/chips/techlib/techlib.nsf/techdocs/02E544E65760B0BF87257060006F8F20/$file/SPU_ABI-Specification_1.7.pdf

Anyway, the binary code layout is very simple, IBM cell SDK contains "assembler unit test", you can refer it.

Or are you interested in SPU Instruction Set Architecture? ;)

And the PPU is just a PPC64 core, so you can read the regular PEM64:

And for the sake of completeness the PowerPC Architecture Book
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/eserver/articles/archguide.html

Now you have thousands of pages to read, have fun :)
