HPCC on PPC64EL

[jimtom]

Hey all...I'm trying to port HPCC to IBM POWER8 running Ubuntu 15.04. I have most of the base code compiled, but when I try to run, I am getting the following when the mydali daemon starts:

as you can imagine this has all kinds of negative downstream effects. I'm wondering where to look next.

Thanks!

The backtrace would appear to indicate a fault in CSimpleInterfaceOf::Link, which is calling atomic_inc.
It may be worth trying to call atomic_inc in a test program to see if the implementation runs into problems..

Jim,

I'm working on some Power7 systems now, but haven't put HPCC over to there yet.

Can you keep this thread updated with what you find?

Thanks,
Lee
