+        If you have an AMD GPU and you have an AMD CPU you might run
+        into problems with this code when using multiple MPI ranks.
+        The simulation might hang because the integrated GPU in the CPU
+        is detected has Radeon compute units, but it does not support ROCM.
+        This is fixable my making only the GPUS on your system visible with
+        ROCR_VISIBLE_DEVICES environment variable.
