Hello @johnnynunez, thank you for wanting to contribute to Lincs!

Can you please give me a little more context about the change you're submitting? What problem are you solving? How does this change solve your problem? What level of testing have you done?

Thanks!

Hello,
Now you can do support for gh200 and nvidia arm devices.
Arm laptops, jetson, gh200 etc

I see, thanks. I'll take a deeper look at the consequences of this change next time I spend time on the project.

Note to myself, a few other things that need to happen before lincs can run on ARM on Linux (not exhaustive, just what comes to mind right now):

• build wheels for ARM on Linux (can be done in Docker+Qemu, which is very long, or on ARM runners for GitHub Actions, not yet available AFAIK)
• replicate the CUDA upgrade to the other GitHub Actions workflows (as hinted by this comment)
• fix setup.py to use the new version of CUDA (not sure if I remember correctly but I think there is a hard-coded CUDA version there)
• test extensively that the CUDA upgrade does not change lincs' numerical behavior in unwanted proportions
