JDK 9 includes the PowerPC/AIX port.

We are porting ported most new features of OpenJdk to ppc and aix. We keep tuning and optimizing the port in jdk9.

The JDK 9 port supports the following parts of the OpenJDK: 

 

linux

big endian

linux

little endian

aix

big endian

template interpreteryesyesyes
C1 compileryesyesyes
C2 compileryesyesyes
aot JVMCI / graalnonono


Supported operating systems and processor implementations

...

Processor: The port supports only 64-bit PPC machines. It recognizes Power chips 5 through 8 and generates code optimized for these processors. It lacks an instruction scheduler targeted to Power 6, which is an in-order issueing processor.SAP is no more supporting these JDKs

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

With the end of the main line support of jdk10 and jdk9 we also stopped supporting jdk 9 and 10.  For further development of jdk 11 and later see the main page of the port.

In March 2018 JDK 10 was release on the three platforms.

In September 2017 JDK 9 was released on the three platforms.
