EPICURE HPC in ARM Architecture Hackathon
The EPICURE HPC in ARM Architecture Hackathon will focus on using HPC in CPUs with the ARM architecture, and it will take place at the INESC TEC’s hub at the University of Minho, Braga, Portugal, from 4-7 February 2025.
Participation in this event is free, but registration is compulsory.
Registration is open until January 31, 2025.
- REGISTER NOW -
The event will include lectures by experts on using ARM architecture in the context of HPC and practical sessions. We will adopt the “Bring Your Code” hackathon type, where the participants will bring code they are using for their research and wish to port or optimize so they can run on ARM CPUs.
The participants will have access to the ARM partition of the EuroHPC supercomputer Deucalion.
You can register for this event individually or as part of a team with whom you will work to develop your code.
