Is Linux ARM64 a supported architecture?

1

Hello,

I’d like to ask whether VAPOR is supported on Linux/Mac ARM64 systems ?
Any concerns ?
Any positive/negative experience ?

Thank you!
Mark

Hi, I can only remember talking about this with the team at the lunch table a couple times. I don’t think anyone’s ever tried it. I also think this is the first time a user has inquired about it. Could you tell us more about your use case?

Thanks,

Hi Scott,

I work for a hardware provider company.
Some of our customers want to use VAPOR on HiSilicon Kunpeng chips in one of our HPC centers.
We want to make sure VAPOR runs fine on Linux ARM64!
For that we are ready to help with any software improvements and/or to provide hardware to the VAPOR team for testing/debugging/CI needs long term.

Regards,
Mark

Thanks Mark. I’m tagging my team @clyne @stasj @sam and we’ll discuss this at our next meeting. Stay tuned.

Hi Mark, what’s the OS and GPU on your system? They’re probably as important as the CPU architecture when it comes to porting a software.

Hi Sam,

The OS is openEuler 20.03 LTS.
The GPU is NVIDIA A100.
