Description

🚀 The feature

I'd like to have the possibility to create manylinux2014 compliant wheels for ppc64le. Is there a documentation for this?

Motivation, pitch

PowerPC has in-core accelerator engines (MMA, Matrix-mulitply assist) which focused on AI inferencing and packages such as torch/audio/vision are preferred to have prebuilt manylinux wheels.
