[Beowulf] Julia on POWER9?

[Prentice Bisbal]

So while you've all been discussing Julia, etc., I've been trying to 
build and get it running on POWER9 for a cluster of AC922 nodes (same as 
Summit, but with 4 GPUs per node). After doing a combination of Google 
searching and soul-searching, I was able to get a functional version of 
Julia to build for POWER9. However, I'm not 100% sure my build is fully 
functional, as when I did 'make testall' some of the tests failed.

Is there anyone on this list using or supporting the latest version of 
Julia, 1.5.2, on POWER9? If so, I'd like to compare notes. I imagine 
someone from OLCF is on this list.

Based on my Internet searching, as of August 2019 Julia was being used 
on Summit on thousands of cores, but I've also seen posts from the Julia 
devs saying they can't support the POWER architecture anymore because 
they no longer have access to POWER hardware. Most of this information 
comes from the Julia GitHub or Julia Discourse conversations.
