NCAR, NOAA, NVIDIA and OpenACC.org are hosting an Open Hackathon on February 21 (an online-only introduction) and February 28 through March 2 at the NCAR Mesa Lab in Boulder (hybrid format). Open Hackathons are opportunities for scientists and research software engineers to collaborate with expert mentors from national labs, universities, and industry leaders to accelerate their high-performance-computing codes and artificial intelligence software.
Accepted teams will be given priority access during the hackathon to a GPU cluster managed by NVIDIA. The event is intended to support GPU project teams preparing to use NCAR’s new Derecho system, but teams developing CPU-only software projects are also welcome to apply. Applications from NCAR and NOAA users and affiliated groups will be prioritized.
