Hi everyone, it's been a long time since I contributed something since joining this forum in 2011.
I ported the xmr-stak-cpu miner to POWER8 little endian cpus, currently it's not very optimized and has been tested on CentOS 7 only.
You can get about 1600 H/s on a 20 core 2.8 GHz server.
To compile you will need to download and install the IBM Advanced Toolchain 10.0 on your OS, since only its custom GCC compiles the code currently.
After installing, just set your CC and CXX env variables to the path of the IBM compilers and use cmake as usual.
The world isn't just for
compromised x86 machines!
