[Beowulf] Frontier Announcement

[Jeffrey Layton]

Oops - my bad. I was reading the Phoronix articles and assumed the full
OpenACC was implemented in 9.1. Only the back-end is implemented:

https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Radeon-GCN-GCC-Merged
https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=GCC-9.1-Compiler-Released

" Initial AMD GCN back-end has been merged for targeting Radeon Fiji/Vega
GPUs although the actual OpenMP/OpenACC offloading and other functionality
isn't yet in place. For GCC 9, the AMD GCN target can only handle
single-threaded, standalone programs which obviously isn't of much use for
GPUs."

Apologies.
