So I believe one of the goals that Ondrej and others have in bringing this SIG up are to work on providing a common HPC baseline, initially by delivering things similar to (and expanding on) OpenHPC. Since CentOS is an rpm based distribution, the 'package management' way to easily install the required software is via yum/rpm. As was mentioned by the other reply, multiple versions are often needed/required but this could in theory be handled with SCLs.
