Announcing the NREL / NSF NCAR / NOAA Open Hackathon

October 21, 2024

Applications are now open for the NREL / NSF NCAR / NOAA Open Hackathon hosted by NREL, NSF NCAR, and NOAA! The hybrid event is scheduled for February 25th to 27th, to be held at the NREL campus in Golden, CO, with virtual introduction meetings on the 12th and 18th. 

Open Hackathons are multi-day, intensive hands-on events designed to facilitate collaboration between domain scientists, computational scientists, and research software engineers. Teams are encouraged to apply with ongoing or new projects towards the goal of improving their software, such as by adding well defined features, porting code to new architectures, or accelerating and optimizing their applications on a variety of data center architectures including CPUs and GPUs. Mentors from the larger computational science community will be assigned to each accepted team.

Teams of at least three members are welcome to apply by December 4th, 2024. Any questions about the event may be directed to Daniel Howard.
