Cell/B.E. technology-based software

The QS22, based on the new IBM PowerXCell™ 8i multi-core processor offers extraordinary single precision and double precision floating point computing power to accelerate key algorithms such as 3D rendering, compression, encryption, financial algorithms, and seismic processing.

To enable you to take full advantage of the Cell/B.E. architecture and the PowerXCell 8i processor, IBM has developed a software development kit designed to accelerate production-ready, multi-core programming.

The IBM Software Development Kit (SDK) for Multicore Acceleration Version 3.0 provides the libraries, tools and resources that businesses need to develop and tune applications for Cell/B.E. technology allowing you to easily:

*Port and optimize applications and algorithms quickly
*Increase ease of programming and developer productivity
*Obtain a reliable development tool kit with warranty and support
*Plug in third-party ISV libraries to integrate and build your software ecosystem
