Sepideh Khajehei of the Open Hackathons Team at the NSF ASCEND Engine hackathon

What happens when seven NSF ASCEND Engine–supported research teams are given direct access to NVIDIA’s deep learning and high‑performance computing expertise, the production‑scale compute resources of the University of Wyoming’s Advanced Research Computing Center (ARCC), and focused mentorship through NVIDIA and the Open Hackathons program?

You get progress—fast.

Participants at the 2026 Australia AI for Science Hackathon

Scientific researchers and AI experts convened at Monash University for the AI for Science Australian Hackathon, hosted in collaboration with NVIDIA and the OpenACC organization.

The hackathon involves high-energy ‘sprints’ with teams using AI to turn their ideas into working prototypes in just a matter of days. This year the researchers accelerated projects across structural biology, advanced engineering, quantum chemistry and climate modelling.

AMD AOMP 23.0-0 was released as the latest build of this LLVM/Clang downstream that continues to carry the very latest AMD patches focused on delivering the best support for GPU offloading to Radeon/Instinct hardware with the likes of the OpenMP and OpenACC APIs. AOMP continues to serve as a great leading-edge compiler for the best AMD GPU offloading experience until the patches ultimately work their way into upstream LLVM.

JUPITER  supercomputer at Julich

JUPITER at Forschungszentrum Jülich has become the first supercomputer in Europe to reach the milestone of 1 ExaFLOP/s – equivalent to one quintillion, or 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 computing operations per second. At the same time, JUPITER ranks as the fourth-fastest supercomputer in the world and the most energy-efficient system in the Exascale class, according to the TOP500 list of the world’s fastest supercomputers presented today at the Supercomputing Conference (SC25) in St. Louis.
