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!
Machine Code doc
Are you interested in spus ABI?

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

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
And the PPU is just a PPC64 core, so you can read the regular PEM64:

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