Together with NVIDIA and OpenACC organization, the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC) will host a hybrid Open Hackathon starting July 12 and concluding July 21, 2023. Open Hackathons provide exciting opportunities for scientists to accelerate their AI or HPC research under the guidance of expert mentors from national laboratories, universities and industry leaders in a collaborative environment. This hybrid format allows teams to participate either in-person at NERSC facility located in Berkeley, California, or remotely via a digital experience supported by online tools.
The goal of the Open Hackathon is for computational scientists to port, accelerate and optimize their scientific applications to modern computer architectures, including CPUs, GPUs and other computing technologies. Participating teams should leave the event either with their applications accelerated and/or optimized on the latest supercomputing hardware or a clear roadmap of the next steps needed to leverage these resources.
This Hackathon is open to everyone looking to take their projects to the next level; however, priority acceptance will be given to NERSC affiliated scientists and their collaborators.
