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?

We had an AC921 and AC922 as a while as loaners.

We had no problems with SLURM.

Getting POWERAI running correctly (bugs since fixed in newer release) and apps properly built and linked to ESSL was the long march.

    with the Power9? I assume your answer implies "yes", but I just
    want to
    make sure.
