1. HACKATHON GOAL
The goal of this hackathon is to accelerate the execution of simulation applications coded by developers with no experience in parallel programming. Our goal is to help you in doing more science and less coding using OpenMP and OpenACC technologies. Your outcome of the hackathon will be either an OpenMP/OpenACC-enabled application or a clear roadmap of how to get there.
2. DO I NEED PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE IN GPU PROGRAMMING?
No, you do not need any experience in parallel programming and GPUs. Our goal is to get the most out this hackathon by working on your code 95% of the time, and sharing experience with expert mentors in optimization, parallelization and execution of simulation programs. We will use Parallware Trainer to help you identify the parallel patterns of your code, and to learn how to implement those patterns efficiently with OpenMP/OpenACC (download the Parallware Trainer brochure).
3. WHAT TEAMS ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
The ideal team has 2 developers, one expert in the simulation code and one newbie in simulation and parallel programming. The ideal simulation application is a sequential code or a MPI code written in C/C++ or Fortran.
4. HOW HIGH IS THE FEE?
Participation in the training event is free of charge. The meeting room and lunches, as well as access to the supercomputers throughout the event, are offered by participating sites.
