It guides you through multiple ways to perform tasks and directs you to reference information in cases requiring atypical installations. It also shows you how to test the installation, launch remotely-accessible HTML help, and view different types of documentation. Please read it carefully before installing. Please also read the README file in the root directory of your installation media, which contains current information about the compiler. Who should read this document This document is intended for anyone responsible for installing IBM XL C/C++ for Blue Gene/Q, V12.1. The basic installation methods detailed in this document address the needs of the majority of users. Basic examples are tailored to reflect, as much as possible, the steps required to perform a basic installation. The advanced installation method addresses the needs of users who require a customized installation for various purposes, such as maintaining more than one version of XL C/C++ on a single system. These are users who are familiar with compiler installations and with the file structures of the versions of the compiler products installed on the system. In this document, you are referred to as an advanced user. How to use this document This document provides procedures for three main installation scenarios: "Basic" installation This scenario allows you to install a single version of XL C/C++ to a default location. This scenario is applicable to the majority of users, and is the recommended method of installation. For an overview of the steps that you need to follow to perform a basic installation, refer to Chapter 2, “Basic installation,” on page 7. "Advanced" installation This scenario allows you to maintain multiple versions of XL C/C++ on a single system, or to install the compiler to a nondefault location. This scenario is only applicable to advanced users who have specialized needs, and is not recommended for the majority of users. For an overview of the steps that you need to follow to perform an advanced installation, refer to Chapter 3, “Advanced installation,” on page 11. "Update" installation This scenario applies to users who have obtained a Program Temporary Fix (PTF) package for an existing XL C/C++ V12.1 installation. For an overview of the steps required to install a PTF, refer to Chapter 4, “Installing an update,” on page 19. © Copyright IBM Corp. 2003, 2012 v For highly specialized installation scenarios that are outside the scope of this document, refer to the Technotes at http://www.ibm.com/software/awdtools/ xlcpp/features/bg/. How this document is organized This book is organized to reflect the pre-installation, installation, post-installation, and troubleshooting phases of an XL C/C++ installation. Table 1. Phases of an XL C/C++ installation Phase Chapters User segment Pre-installation Chapter 1, “Before All users installing IBM XL C/C++ for Blue Gene/Q, V12.1,” on page 1 Installation Chapter 2, “Basic Users who: installation,” on page 7 v Want to use the simplest, most direct installation process v Do not have any special requirements, such as the use of multiple versions of the compiler.

Verbatim copying, distribution and translation of this entire article is permitted in any medium, provided this copyright notice and copying permission statement are preserved. Kernel hackers like to optimise for the common case, and what could be more common to them than compiling kernels. Timing a kernel compile is often a useful (if somewhat unscientific) metric when making Linux kernel changes. It has been used more recently to identify scalability problems - thus began the kernel compile benchmark wars. This paper looks at the work required to achieve a seven second kernel compile using the 2.5 Linux kernel on a 32 way PowerPC64 machine as well as the ongoing scalability work to go below seven seconds on this important benchmark (this is a preliminary version, the final version for the Congress may still suffer some changes.

IBM POWER processors are 64-bit CPU’s Keywords: freebsd, powerpc64, ibm power, designed primarily for server market. With ports, endianness, big endian, little endian. POWER9, there has been renewed interest in them, due to the use of open-source firmware and focus on security and control of the hardware. 2. Introduction There are also new desktop boards with POWER9. Because of that, support for them has 2.1. POWER architecture been recently greatly improved in FreeBSD with increased driver compatibility and more 3rd party This paper describes the effort for running software having available. For my project, I build FreeBSD ports on powerpc64 architecture. IBM the whole ports tree using Poudriere and fix the POWER are 64-bit RISC processors designed compilation errors I meet. In this paper, I specify specifically for the server market, although there challenges met during porting software to work are also boards for desktops and workstations on POWER processors on FreeBSD and show using those processors. how most problems can be solved. FreeBSD on POWER architecture runs in big-endian variant Before POWER9, last POWER processors only and uses old toolchain – with GCC 4.2 and released for desktop computers, were PowerPC binutils 2.17. This is why many problems are 970MP (based on POWER4) available in Apple related to fixing bugs in big-endian variants of PowerMacs G5.1 With the release of POWER9, there appeared new Macintoshes, can only run in big-endian mode desktop computers with POWER processors, (there are some older POWER CPU’s able to run making this architecture again interesting for little-endian mode but they are not common).
