Although this would be great, I am not sure how easy it is to get a
accurate simulation of this chip. The cell architecture consists of
both a power processor element (PPE) and 8 synergistic processor
elements (SPEs) while the PPE is a conventional microprocessor the
SPEs are far from so

The point of the cell is to get the PPE to prepare tasks that can be
executed in a parallel distributed manner across all the SPEs and I am
afraid that this scheduling is going to be very hard to implement
correctly - I may however be proven wrong.
