The goal of this hackathon is to accelerate the execution of applications. If your development team has little or no experience of parallel programming, then CESGAHACK3 is for you.

During the week the event is structured to ensure that the majority of the time is spent working on your own code, with the assistance of expert mentors.

We will use Parallelware Trainer and Parallelware Analyzer to help you identify the parallel patterns in your code, and learn how to implement those patterns efficiently with OpenMP and/or OpenACC.

Our goal is to help you in doing more science by speeding up your application runtime and by spending less time coding.
