[QE-developers] MaX Hackathon, Barcelona, 16-20 July 2018

[Andrea Ferretti]

The MaX Centre of Excellence is pleased to announce the 2018 MaX Hackathon 
(Barcelona, 16-20 July 2018), a coding week dedicated to exascaling in 
electronic structure codes.

http://www.max-centre.eu/max-hackathon/

MaX - Materials Design at the Exascale - is an EU-H2020 Centre of 
Excellence aimed at driving the exascale transition in the domain of 
materials science by pushing software development and performance, uptake 
of HPC technology, and hardware-software codesign for a set of selected 
applications, the MaX flagship codes: Quantum ESPRESSO, SIESTA, Fleur, 
Yambo, and AiiDA.

The 2018 MaX-Hackathon will offer an informal brain-storming environment 
and practical coding sessions, including:
Working groups active in the development of each flagship code, eg 
targeting the development of new features, performance improvements, 
performance portability to new architectures including GPUs.
Advanced training for developers on selected topics (novel parallel 
paradigms, emerging MPI and OpenMP features/standards, support of GPUs & 
HW heterogeneity, HDF5 and parallel IO).
Transversal coding activities (eg parallel IO, support of common 
electronic structure formats, GPU support).

Venue and dates: Barcelona, Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya (UPC); 
16-20th July 2018.
More info, including application form, updated workplan and participant 
list, can be found at: http://www.max-centre.eu/max-hackathon/.

Deadline for applications is June 23, 2018. A few fellowships are 
available to partially cover travel and accommodation expenses.
