+# AMD GPU development system
+
+!!! note
+    This page is work in progress. More details on the GPU development system
+    and how to use it will be added as they become available.
+
+In early 2024 (January 2024) ARCHER2 users will gain access to a small GPU system 
+integrated into ARCHER2 which is designed to allow users to test and develop software 
+using AMD GPU.
+
+!!! important
+    The GPU component is very small and so is aimed at software development and 
+    testing rather than to be used for production research.
+
+## Hardware available
+
+The GPU development system will consist of 4 compute nodes each with:
+
+- 1x AMD EPYC 7534P (Milan) processor, 2.8 GHz
+- 4x AMD Instinct MI210 accelerator
+
+!!! note
+    Further details on the hardware available will be added as soon as they
+    are available.
+
+## Accessing the GPU compute nodes
+
+The GPU nodes will be accessed through the Slurm job submisson system from the
+standard ARCHER2 login nodes.
+
+## Compiling software for the GPU compute nodes
+
+!!! note
+    Details on how to compile software for use on compute nodes will be added
+    as soon as they are available.
+
+You should expect the software development environment to be similar to that
+available on the Frontier exascale system:
+
+- [Programming environment](https://docs.olcf.ornl.gov/systems/frontier_user_guide.html#programming-environment)
+- [Compiling](https://docs.olcf.ornl.gov/systems/frontier_user_guide.html#compiling)
