NERSC Open Hackathon

Together with NVIDIA and OpenACC organization, NERSC will host a Open Hackathon starting August 18, 2026 and concluding August 28, 2026.Open Hackathons are multi-day, intensive hands-on events designed to help computational scientists and researchers port, accelerate and optimize their applications on a variety of data center architectures including CPUs and GPUs. The event pairs participants with dedicated mentors experienced in programming and targeted application areas to realize performance gains and speedups using a variety of programming models, libraries, and tools.Participating teams should leave the event either with their applications accelerated and/or optimized on the latest supercomputing hardware or with a clear roadmap of the next steps needed to leverage these resources.This hackathon is open to everyone looking to take their projects to the next level; however, priority acceptance will be given to NERSC collaborators.
