Re: Let's start a survey on our userbase

Good idea regarding a baseline and to have a general idea what users have hardware wise.

On my end:
For PPC64le,  IBM Power 8 Model 8284-22A. 
For PPC64, IBM Power 710

All with  Connectx-4 lx (Ethernet) and Connectx3 VPI (infiniband) cards

It may be a good idea to ask SPARC users as well.
On my end:
Oracle T5120
Oracle T5140
Oracle S7-2

All with Connectx-3 VPI cards for both Ethernet and Infiniband. 
* For Sparc64, ConnectX4-LX often generate tainted kernel messages with Debian 12, so I decided to use ConnectX3 cards.
