The GPU hackathon event is organized by ORNL, NVIDIA, OpenACC and labs and universities around the globe. Hackathons are 5-day events designed to help teams of three to six developers accelerate their own codes on GPUs with OpenACC or other tools. Each team is assigned two mentors for the duration of 5 days to help teams port their code to GPUs or optimize its performance. No previous GPU experience required, teams are expected to be fluent with the code they bring to the event and motivated to make progress during these 5 days.
This is a unique opportunity for teams to jumpstart acceleration or optimization of your code on GPUs with OpenACC or any other preferred tools. With the help of two experienced mentors, by the end of the event each team should significantly accelerate their code or know which steps to take to continue work.
The hackathon in Sheffield, UK is scheduled for the week of August 19th with applications open until June 16th.
