Sunita Chandrasekaran

Sunita Chandrasekaran, User Group Chair of the OpenACC Organization and Professor at University of Delaware, is leading the charge on the high-tech frontier, fearless in the face of complexity. 

She led an international team that stress-tested the world’s first exascale computer, capable of performing a staggering quintillion calculations per second. Now, she’s exploring the intersection of AI and the high-performance computing (HPC) that powers it — all while preparing her students to thrive at top technology and business firms.

NVIDIA HPC SDK v25.7 delivers a significant leap forward for developers working on high-performance computing (HPC) applications with GPU acceleration. This release marks nearly two years of ongoing development focused on unified memory programming, resulting in a complete toolset that automates data movement between CPU and GPU. By eliminating much of the manual data management traditionally required, it streamlines GPU development, shortens GPU porting cycles, reduces bugs, and gives developers greater flexibility in optimizing scientific workloads.

2025 Helmholtz GPU Hackathon participants

Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC) of Forschungszentrum Jülich hosted the Helmholtz GPU Hackathon 2025, bringing together 52 researchers, developers, and data scientists from across Helmholtz institutes and beyond. The hackathon, now firmly established as a highlight of the Helmholtz calendar, remains centered around optimizing and accelerating complex HPC applications with AI codes now blending into the mix. Preparation for the JUPITER exascale machine was a key focus this time around.
