My friends over at the\u00a0University of Sheffield<\/a>\u00a0Research Software Engineering group are running a\u00a0GPU Hackathon sponsored by Nvidia. The event will be on August 19-23 2019<\/strong>\u00a0 in Sheffield, United Kingdom.\u00a0 The call for proposals is at\u00a0http:\/\/gpuhack.shef.ac.uk\/<\/a><\/p>\n

The Sheffield team have this to say about the event:<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are looking for teams of 3-5 developers with a scalable** application to port to or optimize on a GPU accelerator. Collectively the team must have complete knowledge of the application. If the application is a suite of apps, no more than two per team will be allowed and a minimum of 2 people per app must attend. Space will be limited to 8 teams.<\/p>\n

** By scalable we mean node-to-node communication implemented, but don\u2019t be discouraged from applying if your application is less than scalable. We are also looking for breadth of application areas.<\/p>\n

The goal of the GPU hackathon is for current or prospective user groups of large hybrid CPU-GPU systems to send teams of at least 3 developers along with either:<\/p>\n
