Witherspoon, or AC922, is an IBM POWER9 two-socket, 2U Accelerated Compute
Server with up to 6 NVIDIA Tesla GPUs. More information can be found
[here](https://www.ibm.com/us-en/marketplace/power-systems-ac922).

+In addition to witherspoon, this layer contains additional machine
+configurations such as swift. The default machine target is witherspoon,
+so in order to build a different configuration, or to build witherspoon
+after building a different one, set the MACHINE environment to the desired
+configuration name as follows (this is only needed once):
+
+ export MACHINE="<machine_configuration>"; \
+ export BB_ENV_EXTRAWHITE="$BB_ENV_EXTRAWHITE MACHINE"
+
+Then build:
