+      :class: note
+
+   Kokkos requires using a compiler that supports the c++14 standard. For
+   some compilers, it may be necessary to add a flag to enable c++14 support.
+   For example, the GNU compiler uses the -std=c++14 flag. For a list of
+   compilers that have been tested with the Kokkos library, see the Kokkos
