Whether your code is a traditional HPC-centric application or it focuses on AI/ML technologies, the goal of the event is to port and optimise codes on GPUs in a focused and highly collaborative environment. GPU resources at NCI will be in use during this Hackathon. We are expecting 10-12 research teams across various scientific research domains to participate.

There is a two-step application process to participate:

1. Submit an Expression of Interest (EOI)
2. Invited parties submit a full application and proposal.

Key dates:

01 Jul 2022 EOI submissions open – Submit your Expression of Interest using this form.
05 Aug 2022 EOI submissions close date is extended by one week.
15 Aug 01 Sept 2022 Full  Full proposal submissions open – We will request a more detailed description of your application so that we can best match tutors to help you during the hackathon.
31 Aug 2022 Full Please register using this link.
21 Sept 2022 Full proposal submissions close.
September-October 2022: Participants develop requisite skills and knowledge.
24 Oct 2022 - 04 Nov 2022: Hackathon

Event Format:

We are hoping to run the Hackathon in-person in one or more capital cities at the end of October. This makes debugging the code and talking will run a hybrid mode. See details on the registration page. The last three days 2-4 Nov will be hosted by NCI/NVIDIA at ANU campus, Canberra, Australia. This face-to-face coding hackathon makes debugging and walking through issues much more efficient , and improves the whole experience. In the case of an in-person Hackathon, the duration would be shortened to one week. However, it may need to run online as a contingency plan, in which case the event would run for two weeks at a lower intensityhackathon experience. 

To apply:

Please fill out the EOI form and survey questionsregistration form for your team so that we can get an understanding of your preferences and proposed Hackathon project.
