Nvidia GPU hackathon
We are pleased to announce that Nvidia have generously agreed to sponsor a 3-day GPU hackathon prior to DiRAC Day 2018 in Swansea. This provides the DiRAC community with the opportunity to explore the potential for GPUs in supporting their science. Over the three days, we hope that several major DiRAC science codes will be ported to GPUs and that the teams who attend will gain the skills to assist other DiRAC researchers to port additional codes in the future. This is part of our on-going work to ensure that DiRAC provides the most appropriate hardware for your science and the hackathon will help provide input to discussions on the design of future DiRAC systems.
No prior experience of GPU programming is required – there will be online training material in advance of the hackathon itself to provide an introduction. Teams of 3-5 people can apply with 1 or 2 codes to be worked on. It’s important that all those who attend are familiar with the code that their team will be working on.
