PPU and SPU Executable Naming

Totalview® User Guide : Part IV: Advanced Tools, Configuration, and Customization : Setting Up Parallel Debugging Sessions : Debugging IBM Cell Broadband Engine Programs : Cell Programming : PPU and SPU Executable Naming

If your SPU programs are embedded into your PPU program, TotalView names the SPU program in the following way:

ppu.exe(spu.exe@offset)

ppu.exe is the name of the PPU image containing the SPU executable and offset is the file offset within ppu.exe. spu.exe is the name of the SPU executable.

If, however, the SPU executable is opened at runtime using libspe, the SPU name is shown as:

spu.exe
