Build & Toolchain Notes

This repo contains POWER8-specific headers and benchmarking code intended to be copied into a llama.cpp checkout.

Requirements

  • CMake 3.14+
  • GCC with POWER8 support
  • A POWER8 system (or cross toolchain) if you want to validate VSX/AltiVec changes

Quick sanity check

  • altivec_benchmark.c should compile with appropriate POWER8 flags (see README).

Testing

There's no CI test suite here yet. Please include:

  • what you changed
  • how you validated it (compile command, bench output, etc.)

Code Style

  • Follow the existing code style
  • Add comments for complex logic
  • Keep functions focused and small
