As far as I am aware, I am the only 'active' person in the HPC SIG and
have not seen any further HPC discussions.

Right now I still think that OpenHPC is a very good starting point to
collaborate on HPC packages for CentOS. Especially if you are interested
in bringing in additional packages like GROMACs.

I am also happy to help any other HPC efforts around CentOS. So if you
have any ideas how to better integrate HPC into CentOS let me (us) know.
