Hi All,

Hi All,

On a pSeries VM with POWER9 CPUs, it is possible to compile programmes for Linux PPC more quickly.

The compiling is really faster than on the X5000/40.

I have created two kernels for virtual pSeries VMs.

Download and further information: github.com

Stable long-term kernel 5.10.264 on a virtual pSeries with POWER9 CPUs. (Compiled with support for 64K memory page size):



Kernel 7.2.0-rc7 on a virtual pSeries with POWER9 CPUs. (Compiled with support for 4K memory page size):



Have a nice weekend,
Christian
