Georgia Tech recently hosted its fourth annual Open Hackathon with a new twist--the 2025 event featured an in-person component for the first time to foster a more collaborative environment.
10 teams, selected from a pool of nearly 50 applicants, worked on benchmarking and improving their unique codes on the AI Makerspace, Georgia Tech's supercomputing hub throughout the event.
This year's Princeton Open Hackathon hosted 11 diverse research teams from academic institutions across North American, supported by 24 research computing mentors--from Princeton, accelerated computing pioneer NVIDIA, the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC). Coming together in-person and virtually, the teams explored the potential of high-performance computing and AI to help reveal mysteries of the universe, the planet, and the human body.
