<p>Thanks for the info. Did you try building/using any of the
open-source math libraries for Power9, like OpenBLAS, or did you
just use ESSL for everything? <br>

I'm working with Bill on this project. Is all the hardware <br>
identification/mapping and task affinity working as
expected/desired <br>
with the Power9? I assume your answer implies "yes", but I
just want to <br>
