CCP9 and the ARCHER2 team are hosting a three-day in-person hackathon focusing on directive-based GPU programming in Fortran codes, with an emphasis on porting and optimising code using the latest hardware from major vendors.
This three-day event will take place at STFC Daresbury Laboratory from 12:00 on 13th May till 12:00 on 15th May 2026. There is no registration fee, and meals and accommodation will be provided.
We’re looking for teams of 2-5 members that are seeking to explore or expand their Fortran code’s compute capabilities using GPUs. Participant teams will work with experts from the ARCHER2 team and have access to AMD and NVIDIA hardware for the duration of the hackathon.
Call for Applications deadline: 27th March AoE.
The number of participants is limited: Applications will be reviewed as received, so early submission increases your chances.
