In what way is the Sunway Alpha-based? Dongarra says the ISA isn't.
This hardly looks "completely new" compared with Sunway, for instance, especially given work with it in Europe.
Fujitsu have their own compiler -- amongst their own essentially everything for K -- but GCC is "well-established" in HPC and you can see the Fortran-based HPC-type software in Fedora and Debian aarch64. (Yes, there's a lot more to it than that.)
