Are those all Virtual Machines? If so, how do you really know that the 
performance is 3.3x?

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

Thank you for this collection of patches.

How can I test them? What platforms (computers) have the ppc64 or POWER9 
processor?
