I am pleased to announce the general availability of CentOS Linux 7 (1804) for POWER9 processors (ppc64le - powerpc 64-bit little endian). This release is derived from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.5 ALT. Note this release is 99% equivalent to the existing CentOS 7 Linux 7 (1804) for POWER8 processors (ppc64le - powerpc 64-bit little endian). The key difference being that kernel-4.14....

Hi all, Last year the POWER8 and POWER9 specific improvements (for PowerPC) were completely rewritten, but as of yet no accurate performance tests of these have been performed. I have validated functionality and rough performance checks for these through Travis CI, but the numbers I get through that vary wildly. Recently the C code that...

We have pushed the CR repository for CentOS Linux 7.6.1810 for following architectures: x86_64 i386 armhfp aarch64 power9 ppc64le We are currently still working on the ppc64 / ppc architecture as we are having issues with some of the 32bit ppc mulitlib builds. CR is basically the packages that will update your install from CentOS Linux 7.5.1804 to 7.6.1810, minus the centos-release rpm and the anaconda rpms.? What w...

Hi Brian, > Thank you for this collection of patches. > > How can I test them? What platforms (computers) have the ppc64 or > POWER9 processor? The IBM Bounty Source page has a list of resources: https://www.bountysource.com/teams/ibm/bounties Travis also has ppc64le support, so if you add the linux-ppc64le target then FLAC will be tested on ppc64le. Thanks, Anton

Hello, today I updated a CentOS 7.6 ppc64le machine to CentOS 7.7. After reboot to the new kernel (4.18.0-80.7.2.el7.ppc64le) dkms could not build the nvidia-module. Error-message from dkms: Compiler version check failed: The major and minor number of the compiler used to compile the kernel: gcc version 8.3.1 20190311 (Red Hat 8.3.1-3) (GCC) does not match the compiler used here: cc (GCC)

Well, if you use that kernel, that means you're on Power9 variant, and that architecture doesn't exist anymore upstream (so no RHEL 7.7 for Power9). As almost all packages are just ppc64le (which still exist upstream), the decision was to still provide 7.7.1908 for Power9 users, but using the kernel from CentOS 8, rebuilt for CentOS 7. (same is also...

...0, and its clang says it is version 9.0.0 (trunk 357348). I tried to do another spack install llvm at develop, but it said that I already had it installed. Does that mean there were no changes since March 30, or does spack not look for any changes? I also tried spack install llvm at develop on a POWER9 (ppc641e) machine, but I can not find a compiler that will compile it. gcc 4.8.5 is reported as too old, and gcc 7.3.0 and 8.1.0 both fail in the same place: >> 9069 /home/msi3/hpct/spack/var/spack/stage/llvm-develop-iu3myet5ceoz4q7 k5twmk4dlths3aemz/spack-src/projects/lib...
