Platform requirements
The Full-System Simulator for the Cell Broadband Engine™ Processor is a companion technology to the IBM SDK for Multicore Acceleration. Requirements for the IBM SDK for Multicore Acceleration are provided in the Installation Guide.
Hardware: The simulator is available for 32-bit and 64-bit x86 and 64-bit PowerPC systems. Certain simulator features are only available on 64-bit architectures. The system should have at least 1GB of memory available for use by the simulator. Additional system memory may be required if the memory size of the simulated system is increased.
Operating system: This version of the simulator is supported on Fedora Linux Release 9. The simulator is also known to work on related platforms that provide equivalent versions of system libraries.
Software:The simulator requires the tcl, tk, and xterm packages to be installed prior to installing the simulator.
