ppc64 is an identifier commonly used within the Linux, GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) and LLVM open-source software communities to refer to the target architecture for applications optimized for 64-bit big-endian PowerPC and Power ISA processors. ppc64le is a pure little-endian mode that has been introduced with the POWER8 as the prime target for technologies provided by the OpenPOWER Foundation, aiming at enabling porting of the x86 Linux-based software with minimal effort. These two identifiers are frequently used when compiling source code to identify the target architecture. 64-bit Power and PowerPC processors are the following: PowerPC 620 RS64 – Apache, RS64-II Northstar, RS64-III Pulsar/IStar, and RS64-IV SStar POWER3 and POWER3-II POWER4 and POWER4+ PowerPC 970, 970FX, 970MP and 970GX POWER5 and POWER5+ PPE in Cell BE, PowerXCell 8i and Xenon. PWRficient POWER6 and POWER6+ POWER7 and POWER7+ A2, A2I (used in the Blue Gene/Q) and A2O PowerPC e5500 core based PowerPC e6500 core based POWER8 – P8-6c Murano, P8-12c Turismo and Venice, P8E (with NVLink) and CP1 POWER9 – P9C Cumulus, P9N Nimbus and P9 AIO Axone Power10 Microwatt, open source soft core Chiselwatt, open source soft core Defunct 64-bit PowerPC processors are the Motorola G5 and PowerPC e700.

Linux

Linux (ˈlɪnʊks ) is a family of open-source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991, by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged as a Linux distribution, which includes the kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name "GNU/Linux" to emphasize the use and importance of GNU software in many distributions, causing some controversy.

Debian

Debian (ˈdɛbiən), also known as Debian GNU/Linux, is a Linux distribution composed of free and open-source software, developed by the community-supported Debian Project, which was established by Ian Murdock on August 16, 1993. The first version of Debian (0.01) was released on September 15, 1993, and its first stable version (1.1) was released on June 17, 1996. The Debian Stable branch is the most popular edition for personal computers and servers. Debian is also the basis for many other distributions, most notably Ubuntu.
