And it looks like the programming environment is running on that hobbyist OS kernel, Linux, that will come to nothing ;-) https://rocmdocs.amd.com/en/latest/index.html https://rocmdocs.amd.com/en/latest/index.html

    >I bet LUMI researchers won't be doing data analysis on their laptops from Linux distributions. I did just that when I used one of LUMI's predecessors. Linux desktops weren't uncommon in my corner of academia.

      While at CERN and Fermilab everyone was using mostly Windows 2000 and OS X on their desktops, and many were doing their papers in Framemaker instead of LaTeX. The creation of the Scientific Linux distribution hardly changed this during the times I was there, and during my last visit for the Alumni Network creation event, it seems to have hardly changed. This is where I am coming from.

  Afaik ROCM only provides fine tuned libs/drivers running on linux. At least it was provided that way years ago when I used and shipped with kinda soft vendor lock only main distros supported but if they provide now with the some tuned hpc OS that would be pretty good idea.
