PPE components

There are five PPE components visible in the expanded PPE folder.

Double-clicking a folder icon brings up a window displaying the program-state data. Several of the available windows are shown in the figures provided here.

The general-purpose registers (GPRs) and the floating-point registers (FPRs) can be viewed separately by double-clicking on the GPRegs and the FPRegs folders respectively.

Figure 1 shows the GPR window, and Figure 2 shows the FPR window. As data changes in the simulated registers, the data in the windows is updated and registers that have changed state are highlighted.

The PPE Core window (PPCCore) shows the contents of all the registers of the PPE, including the Vector/SIMD Multimedia Extension registers. Figure 3 shows the PPE Core window.
