Supported operating systems and processor implementations

AIX: The port supports AIX 5.3 and later. It is tested to be built with xlC 12.  Patch level 12.01.0000.0008 or higher is required. We do not support iSeries PASE.

Linux: We build and run the VM on SLES 10.3 with gcc 4.1.2, but support it on other Linux distributions, too.  The little-endian Linux variants must be built with gcc 4.8. 

Processor: The port supports only 64-bit PPC machines. It recognizes Power chips 5 through 7 and generates code optimized for these processors. It lacks an instruction scheduler targeted to Power 6, which is an in-order issueing processor. 

Status (see also the main page of the port):
