I used to sysadmin for a place doing high performance computing. They were working on a different problem domain than neurology, but still required loads of computational power. The tech they used: * GPGPU programming (CUDA, etc) * Fortran (old code base dated back to the 80s) * C/C++ * Matlab * MPI & OpenMP There was a little bit python but mostly from the newer grad students. Scientific Linux (https://www.scientificlinux.org/ https://www.scientificlinux.org/) provides a pretty good base OS though not everyone uses it. Some places use RHEL or CentOS instead. For the GPGPU things the developers used Ubuntu because at the time it was the easiest way to get CUDA running. I have no idea if that's changed.
