[Debian-pan-maintainers] Fwd: Push the add of ROCm and Pocl autopkgtest for Examl

[Alexandros Stamatakis]

Dear Clement,

I am not sure I understand your question.

ExaML neither supports GPUs, nor OpenCL.

More importantly, ExaML is not supported any more as all of its 
functionality has been integrated into RAxML-NG by now:

https://github.com/amkozlov/raxml-ng

In addition to this we do not have any plans at present to port RAxML-NG 
to GPUs as our numerical kernels don't scale that well on GPUs to 
justify the programming effort.

Hope this helps,

Alexis
