From 895cd765991180d22a8068ccd9fc3866c36d04ed Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Dawson Date: Wed, 26 Apr 2017 17:40:56 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] doc: clarify arch support for power platforms Add specifics as to the level of hardware supported for power platforms. Power 8 is the first processor level to support ppc little endian. Set the minimum level for AIX to Power7 for Node version 8 and later. This will allow the potential to leverage new instructions and optimizations going forward. We have spoken to the AIX team and they agree this makes sense. Earlier processor levels will continue to be supported for version 4.x and 6.x on AIX. --- BUILDING.md | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/BUILDING.md b/BUILDING.md index 89d69b8229830a..498f0e06d842dc 100644 --- a/BUILDING.md +++ b/BUILDING.md @@ -40,8 +40,8 @@ Support is divided into three tiers: | Windows | Tier 1 | >= Windows 7 or >= Windows2008R2 | x86, x64 | | | SmartOS | Tier 2 | >= 15 < 16.4 | x86, x64 | see note1 | | FreeBSD | Tier 2 | >= 10 | x64 | | -| GNU/Linux | Tier 2 | kernel >= 3.13.0, glibc >= 2.19 | ppc64le | | -| AIX | Tier 2 | >= 7.1 TL04 | ppc64be | | +| GNU/Linux | Tier 2 | kernel >= 3.13.0, glibc >= 2.19 | ppc64le, >=power8 | | +| AIX | Tier 2 | >= 7.1 TL04 | ppc64be, >=power7 | | | GNU/Linux | Tier 2 | kernel >= 3.10, glibc >= 2.17 | s390x | | | macOS | Experimental | >= 10.8 < 10.10 | x64 | no test coverage | | Linux (musl) | Experimental | musl >= 1.0 | x64 | | From 156fccc1e2bfc40f248dcfbfb567c0eb81d65c2c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Dawson Date: Fri, 28 Apr 2017 09:42:22 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 2/2] squash: addresss comments --- BUILDING.md | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/BUILDING.md b/BUILDING.md index 498f0e06d842dc..eb68b22370d87d 100644 --- a/BUILDING.md +++ b/BUILDING.md @@ -40,8 +40,8 @@ Support is divided into three tiers: | Windows | Tier 1 | >= Windows 7 or >= Windows2008R2 | x86, x64 | | | SmartOS | Tier 2 | >= 15 < 16.4 | x86, x64 | see note1 | | FreeBSD | Tier 2 | >= 10 | x64 | | -| GNU/Linux | Tier 2 | kernel >= 3.13.0, glibc >= 2.19 | ppc64le, >=power8 | | -| AIX | Tier 2 | >= 7.1 TL04 | ppc64be, >=power7 | | +| GNU/Linux | Tier 2 | kernel >= 3.13.0, glibc >= 2.19 | ppc64le >=power8 | | +| AIX | Tier 2 | >= 7.1 TL04 | ppc64be >=power7 | | | GNU/Linux | Tier 2 | kernel >= 3.10, glibc >= 2.17 | s390x | | | macOS | Experimental | >= 10.8 < 10.10 | x64 | no test coverage | | Linux (musl) | Experimental | musl >= 1.0 | x64 | |
