Hello,

are there any efforts for a PPC64le (POWER8/ POWER9) client?

I have a system from Raptor Computing Systems.
Maximum configuration is dual processor 22-cores with 172 threads (SMT4).

I look forward to a response.

No, development has been targeted at computers home users and enthusiasts would have, and that meant x86/AMD64 based computers and their GPU's. Some of this also works and scales onto larger servers that some have access to. With the limited budget for software development they have kept to that base of equipment.

There was someone a few years ago who ran the client under emulation and had good results. Don't know if that would still work.
