hi Erik,
Yes 8 supports VSX (128-bit SIMD, 4x single precision), and as far as I can
tell just a few extensions over the 7's VSX ISA.
I was able to build PoCL on a Power 8 machine but haven't had time to work
out the test failures. I'd be interested if you can explain a little more
about what oth
Pocl's vector run-time math library supports the Power 7 VSX instructions.
Is Power 8 similar? If not, I might be able to assist extending this to
Power 8. However, this would only be a small part of supporting Power 8,
there are likely many other things to test before this becomes relevant.

I don't know any who have tried it, but I know people that
might be interested to use it, if someone started to maintain
that port.
If there's a solid LLVM backend (also with regard to c
