CSCS GPU Hackathon 2021
GPU Hackathons provide exciting opportunities for scientists to accelerate their AI research or HPC codes under the guidance of expert mentors from National Labs, Universities and Industry leaders in a collaborative environment. The CSCS Hackathon is a multi-day event designed to help teams of two to four developers accelerate their own codes on GPUs using a programming model, or machine learning framework of their choice. Each team is assigned mentors for the duration of the event.
Prerequisites
- Teams are expected to be fluent with the code or project they bring to the event and motivated to make progress during the hackathon.
- No advanced GPU skills required, but teams are expected to know the basics of GPU programming and profiling at the event. A collection of GPU lectures, tutorials, and labs are available for all participants at no fee. Please contact organizers for more information to help you prepare for the hackathon.
GPU Compute Resource
Teams attending the event will be given access to the Piz Daint supercomputer for the duration of the hackathon.
