(I work for IBM Power Systems) IBM have partnered with Oregon State University to provide access to ppc64le machines: * https://osuosl.org/services/powerdev/ * https://power-developer.mybluemix.net/#hardware You can request access to the OSU setup: * For a shell: https://osuosl.org/services/powerdev/request_hosting/ * For CI: https://osuosl.org/services/powerdev/request_powerci/ So there are some forms. I'm not sure where the bar sits for you with respect to how hard it is to go this route, but feel free to reply to me privately or via [email protected] if you have further questions about setting something up on the OSU OSL infrastructure.
