+### Compile with MASS Support on Power CPU (Optional dependency)
+
+[IBM MASS](http://www-01.ibm.com/software/awdtools/mass/linux/mass-linux.html) library consists of a set of mathematical functions for C, C++, and
+Fortran-language applications that are tuned for optimum performance on POWER architectures. OpenBLAS with MASS requires 64-bit, little-endian OS on POWER.
+The library can be installed as below -
+
+ * On Ubuntu:
+
+ wget -q http://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/server/POWER/Linux/xl-compiler/eval/ppc64le/ubuntu/public.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
+ echo "deb http://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/server/POWER/Linux/xl-compiler/eval/ppc64le/ubuntu/ trusty main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ibm-xl-compiler-eval.list
+ sudo apt-get update
+ sudo apt-get install libxlmass-devel.8.1.3
+
+ * On RHEL/CentOS:
+
+ wget http://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/server/POWER/Linux/xl-compiler/eval/ppc64le/rhel7/repodata/repomd.xml.key
+ sudo rpm --import repomd.xml.key
+ wget http://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/server/POWER/Linux/xl-compiler/eval/ppc64le/rhel7/ibm-xl-compiler-eval.repo
+ sudo cp ibm-xl-compiler-eval.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/
+ sudo yum install libxlmass-devel.8.1.3
+
+After installing MASS library, compile openblas with USE_MASS=1.
+
+Example:
+
+Compiling on Power8 with MASS support -
+
+ make USE_MASS=1 TARGET=POWER8
