Allinea Software Announces Support for IBM Cell Platform

Warwick, United Kingdom, February 19, 2007 –- Allinea Software today announced plans to offer both its Distributed Debugging Tool (DDT) and its Optimization and Profiling Tool (OPT) on the IBM QS20 BladeCenter Cell Broadband Engine platform.  In addition to the powerful features that DDT and OPT offer on other multi-core and multi-processor platforms, new features that are specifically designed for the IBM QS20 BladeCenter Cell Broadband Engine will be integrated into its products to further enhance the development environment.

The new Cell blades do look very cool, I’d love to see what we could do with them, if the application were written/coded in the right way, there could be real benefits over the x86 range of servers. Anything to aid with the development of code for the platform has to be a good thing.
