CentOS Stream for HPC work?

I've been running an HPC system for a science group for a while now and have built a couple of different systems based on common HPC infrastructures (ROCKS or Open HPC). These have been built on top of the rebuilt RHEL distros (mostly CentOS), but I don't really need the level of stability that these provide and would actually...

DoomScroller,

I would not be using CentOS in your use case as it is a rolling release and as such not considered stable for production environments. In recent times Ubuntu server has taken over where CentOS was once used.

In regards to a framework for HPC, I would be looking at grid computing and using one of the scientific workflow management solutions which is compatible with your requirements and a Linux environment.

"Continuously delivered disto that tracks just ahead of Redhat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) development..."

That's a rolling release.

DoomScroller,

The wiki article literally states in the first line.
"Rolling release, also known as rolling update or continuous delivery..."

You are just trying to argue for arguments sake. Just stop it. CentOS is a rolling release.
