[hpc-announce] GPU Hackathon Call for Teams Deadline March 6th

[Foertter, Fernanda S.]

**Call for teams closes March 6th**

Building on the success of last year's OLCF Hackathon, we are
pleased to announce three GPU Hackathons for 2015.  The first
will be hosted April 20-24 by the National Center for
Supercomputing Applications on the UIUC Campus.  The second will
be hosted by the Swiss National Supersomputing Centre in Lugano,
Switzerland from July 6-10.  The final one will be hosted by the
Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility on October 19-23.

There will be intensive mentoring during these hands-on
workshops.  The goal is for teams to leave either with
applications running on GPUs or with a clear roadmap of how to
get there.  Mentors will come from national laboratories,
universities, and vendors.  Many of them develop OpenACC capable
compilers and help define the OpenACC standard in addition to
having extensive OpenACC programming experience.

More information on these events, including registration pages
for the first two is now available at http://bit.ly/2015GPUHack.

Happy Computing!
