Hi Guys, I have spotted failing unittest of one of the packages (nibabel) on the S390 build box we have... to let upstream troubleshoot it himself I thought to setup Hercules emulator running S/390... I have managed, but test doesn't fail because on the real box quad-precision (float128) seems to be available with numpy reporting 112 bits available for mantissa, while under emulator it is only 52 ... my blunt guess it has to do with presence of decimal floating point on the build host, which is reported as 'dfp' feature in cpuinfo.
I see that hercules has lots of logic around DFP but I am not clear which hercules's model compatible with our kernel (e.g. it doesn't boot on ESA/370) would provide DFP? Just hoped to find some clues here (may be some of you guys played with hercules) -- thanks in advance -- =------------------------------------------------------------------= Keep in touch www.onerussian.com Yaroslav Halchenko www.ohloh.net/accounts/yarikoptic -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
