Default Analysing PPU programs for stalls

Has anyone had any experience using any simulators to analyse their PPU code for stalls, pipeline or otherwise?

I see there's tools on IBM's alphaworks site which look potentially useful. I'm particularly interesting in analysing the performance of some altivec code that executes on the PPU. A lot of stuff seems geared towards the SPUs.

Failing that, has anyone got a good cheat sheet or tips guide that I could use to inspect my PPU vectorised code for stalls?

Thanks.

I think CELL simulator is the only tool that can do this.
