Together with NVIDIA and the OpenACC organization, NOAA, NCAR, and NREL will host a hybrid Open Hackathon starting February 21 (virtual intro) with hybrid hackathon days February 27th, 28th, and 29th held at NOAA’s DSRC in Boulder.

Open Hackathons are multi-day, intensive hands-on events designed to help computational scientists and researchers port, accelerate and optimize their applications on a variety of data center architectures including CPUs and GPUs. The event pairs participants with dedicated mentors experienced in programming and targeted application areas to realize performance gains and speedups using a variety of programming models, libraries, and tools. Participating teams should leave the event either with their applications accelerated and/or optimized on the latest supercomputing hardware or with a clear roadmap of the next steps needed to leverage these resources.

This hackathon is open to everyone looking to take their projects to the next level; however, priority acceptance will be given to NOAA, NCAR, and NREL affiliated scientists and their collaborators. Learn more about and apply here for the Open Hackathon by December 6th. 

Reach out to dhoward@ucar.edu if you have any questions about the event, whether your project is suitable, or the application process.
