Overview
The TREX Centre of Excellence together with CINECA is organising the TREX Hackathon III in Bologna, Italy. The Hackathon will be held in CINECA - Dipartimento HPC Rita Levi Montalcini Room, CINECA main building, Via Magnanelli 6, 40033 CASALECCHIO DI RENO (BO).
The Hackathon is targeting TREX code developers to port their codes to run on GPUs, or optimize their applications that already run on GPUs. With the participation of experts coming from worldwide popular organizations such as Nvidia and Intel, the Hackathon will be a unique opportunity to learn more about GPUs, develop performance improvements and improve the portability of the TREX flagship codes to new architectures.
GPU Compute Resource
Participants will be using the accelerated cluster MARCONI 100 from CINECA equipped with Nvidia cards and the GPU porting will be focused on OpenACC and OpenMP offload.
Event format
The Hackathon will be structured in a mix of theoretical lessons and hands-on sessions supervised by experts. Given the interactive nature of the Hackathon, the programme will be adjusted based on the emerging interest and needs of the developers, giving them the possibility to further explore specific and technical aspects.
The first day will be dedicated mainly to theoretical sessions on GPU programming paradigms, while the second and third days will be dedicated to practical sessions.
Registration
Registration is free. Please note that you can register to attend online the Hackathon. Registration to attend physically is no longer possible.
Online registration deadline: 03 March 2023 - CLOSED
