KAUST-NVIDIA GPU Hackathon 2017
What a GPU Blast!
We had a fantastic hackathon this year with 10 teams participating (from 1 to 3 members per team). 7 teams were from various divisions at KAUST and 3 external 1 from Aramco and 2 from King Abdulaziz University in Jeddah. The teams employed a variety of development ways on GPUs including CUDA (1 group), Libraries (2 groups) and OpenACC (7 groups). The codes were from a variety of domain sciences including seismic imaging , reservoir simulation, earthquake simulation, combustion, CFD and machine learning. More technical details can be found here.
The main development platform was a Cray Storm with 8 K80 GPUs. We also had a system from SuperMicro with 4 Nvlinked Pascal GPUs provided by KAUST IT Research Computing.
And the winners are...
Thank you!
