PETSc developers,

    Note that this machine will apparently not support either of our two 
current GPU backends: CUDA or ViennaCL/OpenCL ;-)

Yes, also recommending OpenACC transition to OpenMP and showing
confidence in HIP over CUDA.

Spec sheet on the current generation of these GPUs.

 https://www.amd.com/system/files/documents/radeon-instinct-mi60-datasheet.pdf

Are they available in any cloud environments and/or is JLSE planning to get 
some?

 First news I've seen on Frontier. It is not Nvidia!

 No mention of OpenCL!

Folks - we’ll discuss this more during our next all-PI VTC, but FYI details of 
the Aurora and Frontier systems are becoming available, which is timely and 
will help us in honing our exascale plans moving into our CD-2 review this fall.

 *   Frontier: https://www.olcf.ornl.gov/frontier/ (see also the attached spec 
sheet)
