Prepping your Open Source Project for Multi-Platform
summary
Most compilers and runtimes are already ported so the real work is testing dependencies, fixing endian issues and automating builds. Use public builders (SUSE build service, Ubuntu build, Jenkins at Oregon State, Travis CI) to run cross-arch builds and compare performance; choose representative test cases and scale tests. s390x can handle a trillion web transactions/day and 275 GB/s compression so target optimizations after correctness. Use CI pipelines and byte-swap functions for s390x big-endian compatibility.
