ok - the academic study in front of me dated 2020 says "no" but it is non-US researchers, public science. I have no reason to believe one way or the other, but I literally read this today.

reading again - it seems this paper calls HPC with GPUs a slightly different name "GPGPU" and lists the research activity separately.. so I didn't see it as HPC; basically what I wrote is not accurate. got it
