Current status of the ppc64-port branch:

• Passing all Lua 5.1 official tests which pass on LuaJIT for ppc32.

• The JIT mode is not available yet, since it depends on LJ_GC64 and it is not ready. (More details here: https://www.freelists.org/post/luajit/LuaJIT-PPC64le-Initial-Support,1)

• Lua software that has been tested on ppc64:

  • [luarocks] (https://github.com/keplerproject/luarocks/wiki) - Allows you to install Lua modules as packages called "rocks", which contain version and dependency information. Much like npm or pip.
  • [torch7] (http://torch.ch/) - Scientific computing framework with wide support for machine learning algorithms, used by Facebook, Google, and more.
  • [ansicolors] (https://github.com/kikito/ansicolors.lua) - Simple function for printing to the console in color.
  • [lua-term] (https://github.com/hoelzro/lua-term) - Terminal operations and manipulations.
  • [turbo] (http://www.turbolua.org/) - Event-driven, non-blocking, LuaJIT-based networking suite and framework, inspired by Tornado.
    • Porting was needed, [pull request is merged] (https://github.com/kernelsauce/turbo/pull/191)
  • [vida] (https://github.com/nwhitehead/vida) - Mix C code into your LuaJIT code seamlessly.
  • [luafun] (https://github.com/rtsisyk/luafun) - A high-performance functional programming library for LuaJIT.
  • [luasec] (https://github.com/brunoos/luasec) - A binding for OpenSSL library to provide TLS/SSL communication over LuaSocket.
  • [ljsyscall] (http://myriabit.com/ljsyscall/) - Unix system calls for LuaJIT.
    • Porting was needed, [pull request is merged] (https://github.com/justincormack/ljsyscall/pull/183)
  • [sha1] (https://github.com/kikito/sha1.lua) - SHA-1 secure hash computation, and HMAC-SHA1 signature computation in Lua (5.1).
  • [luacrypto] (https://github.com/mkottman/luacrypto) - Lua bindings to OpenSSL.
  • [penlight] (https://github.com/stevedonovan/Penlight) - Broad, heavyweight utility library, inspired by Python's standard libs. Provides the batteries that Lua doesn't.
