POWER9 compiler options

Use the -mcpu (-qarch) and -mtune (-qtune) options to utilize the POWER9 technology.

-mcpu=pwr9 or -mcpu=power9 (-qarch=pwr9)
Specifying -mcpu=pwr9 or -mcpu=power9 (-qarch=pwr9) produces object code that contains instructions that utilize the POWER9 technology.
For more information, see -mcpu=pwr9 or -mcpu=power9 (-qarch=pwr9).
-mtune=pwr9 or -mtune=power9 (-qtune=pwr9)
If you specify -mtune=pwr9 or -mtune=power9 (-qtune=pwr9), optimizations are tuned to utilize the POWER9 technology.
For more information, see -mtune=pwr9 or -mtune=power9 (-qtune=pwr9).
