[Beowulf] An Epyc move for Cray

[Christopher Samuel]

For those who haven't seen, Cray has announced their new Shasta 
architecture for forthcoming systems like NERSC-9 (the replacement for 
Edison).

It's interesting as Cray have jumped back to using AMD CPUs (Epyc) 
alongside nVidia GPUs, in conjunction with a new interconnect (Slingshot).

I've got to say that the name of the new NERSC system reminds me of 
people struggling to program in a particular scripting language.. ;-)
