Description

The [NVIDIA HPC SDK](https://developer.nvidia.com/hpc-sdk) is a comprehensive suite of compilers, libraries and tools for HPC developers. The HPC SDK includes C, C++, and Fortran compilers (formerly known as the PGI compilers), as well as CUDA, GPU math libraries, communication libraries such as MPI and NCCL, and Nsight performance profilers.

This issue is to discuss adding a package for the HPC SDK, including support for using the compilers to build other packages.

The HPC SDK is free for [download](https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-hpc-sdk-downloads), and is also available as [containers from NGC](https://ngc.nvidia.com/catalog/containers/nvidia:nvhpc) and is supported in [Spack](https://github.com/spack/spack/pull/19294).

The HPC SDK is available for x86_64, Power, and Arm.

The HPC SDK has two variants: one includes the latest CUDA only, and the other includes 3 versions of CUDA. Ideally, based on the detected NVIDIA driver, the most appropriate variant can be selected for install.

The "REDIST" directory contains the set of runtime libraries (there are also separate `devel` and `runtime` Docker containers on NGC).
