Australia's GPU Hackathon
25 March 2019 to 29 March 2019
9:00am to 5:00pm
Perth CBD
The Pawsey Supercomputing Centre will host Australia's GPU Hackathon in March, a free, five-day intensive hands-on mentoring session. It is designed to help computational scientists port their applications to GPUs using libraries, OpenACC, CUDA and other tools.
The aim of the hackathon is for current or prospective user groups of large hybrid CPU-GPU systems to send teams of at least three developers along with either (1) a (potentially) scalable application that could benefit from GPU accelerators, or (2) an application running on accelerators that need optimisation. The goal is that the teams leave with applications running on GPUs, or at least with a clear roadmap of how to get there.
The team proposal deadline is 4 February 2019.
