EPICURE GPU Hackathon
Start
2024/10/28
End
2024/10/31
Location
CINECA, Bologna, Italy
The EPICURE GPU Hackathon, the first one organised by EPICURE, will focus on GPU programming, and it will take place in CINECA, Bologna, Italy, during the period of 28-31 October 2024.
This event will include a series of lectures by experts on GPU computing, hands-on practice sessions and on the last day there will be a “Bring your own code” session where you can bring code you have been working on and have some assistance from GPU programming experts. Preferably, you will register as a two-person team (you can also register individually) such that you can work in pairs during hands-on sessions, the “Bring your own code” session and other challenges.
For this event, you will have access to the Leonardo Booster cluster, where you will be able to test your code on its state-of-the-art NVIDIA GPUs.
