AMPI TLS privatization support for IBM POWER #1428

Open stwhite91 opened 7 years ago

stwhite91 commented 7 years ago

Original issue: https://charm.cs.illinois.edu/redmine/issues/1428

AMPI lacks support for -tlsglobals on IBM POWER systems, which we will want to have in place before Summit and Sierra are up.

Only slightly related: our QuickThreads package lacks support for POWER, but it looks like a more recent version of QuickThreads has it: https://github.com/lvijay/quickthreads

Edit: sadly that link no longer works :/

The recently merged support for Boost uFcontext threads should have support for POWER8 but that needs to be verified. cmitls will still need to be updated for POWER anyway

I will need access to a POWER machine to work on this.

I contacted the author and that link was not much/any more than a mirror of https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/quickthreads when maintenance stopped in 2012, and that version of the library is GPL-licensed anyway, meaning we can't use it.
