Are you interested in using Power8 with the Pocl's CPU backend (as a compute 
device), or just CPU as a host -  used by the applications to handle the 
runtime part of OpenCL, with CUDA backend doing the computation ?


The latter is probably easier to achieve, though right now it likely doesn't 
work out-of-the-box. The former (Power8 as OpenCL device) requires LLVM support 
for your CPU, including Clang vectors. I have no idea what's the state of LLVM 
on PowerX.

IIRC i've seen some commits which dealt with ARM in the CUDA backend, so it's 
quite possible.


Cheers,

Subject: [pocl-devel] POCL on Power9, Tegra


Hey POCL Folks


I'm building a small cluster with Power9 + V100 with NVLink2. I'd like to run 
some OpenCL apps. Since Nvidia's OpenCL support is lagging badly .. I was 
considering using POCL on this platform, with the CUDA backend.


I noted some conversation on this list 2 years ago on supporting Power8. 
Nothing since. Is anyone interested in this? I'm happy to help, supply remote 
hardware, etc.


On a somewhat different end .. also interested in POCL on Nvidia Tegra .. I 
have small clusters of TX1 and TX2 Jetson boards. Has anyone tried to get POCL 
running on Tegra with CUDA backend?


Cheers,

Gaurav
