Actually, POWER9 is bi-endian and can switch between BE and LE at runtime. BE
actually has a very slight performance advantage in some cases. Linux is the
only OS that appears to be doing much LE stuff on POWER, other OS development
that I'm aware of is all BE focused.
I know that Timothy
Fulltime work on a port definitely qualifies as a serious attempt. It
is almost impossible to say for sure you can manage such a port. All I
want is that this beauty is actively used for OpenBSD. Otherwise I'll
keep it for my own developments or reuse the CPUs in a Thalos
workstation if that's
Hi,
I'm working on a powerpc64 port, I've been at it 2 weeks non-stop. I
don't know if I'll finish. But I gotta say hey! this is a generous offer.
Since I'm focusing on the big endian machine byte order and on PowerPC
970's it would need to be ported again to little endian afaik. If it's

Sounds like strings attached.
I'm offering my brand new IBM 9006-22P with two 16-core 2.9GHZ CPUs to
the OpenBSD project for free. Who can make the hardware port happen?
Serious attempts only.
