Hi Massi,

I just presented GRASS and a short overview over GRASS on HPC yesterday 
at the FOSS4F-FR and there was a lot of interest for this. Several 
people asked me about specific documentation on the subject.

Currently, I'm aware of the following wiki pages which each potentially 
touches on some aspects of HPC:

https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Parallel_GRASS_jobs
https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Working_with_GRASS_without_starting_it_explicitly
https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GRASS_and_Shell
https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GRASS_GIS_Performance
https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Large_raster_data_processing
https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Large_vector_data_processing

Then there are elements in some presentations:

https://fosdem.org/2018/schedule/event/geo_grass/
https://archive.fosdem.org/2015/schedule/event/grass_7/

This does not make it easy for people to find a one-stop place for 
guidance on how to work with GRASS in a cluster environment by 
parallelizing jobs.

So, it would be great to create one "GRASS HPC" wiki page and collect 
and structure all relevant info there.
