Julia hackathon v3.0 2023

The GPU4GEO team and external collaborators will gather for a third Julia hackathon March 13-17, 2023 to advance geoscientific Julia projects.

GPU4GEO Julia hackathon

After two successful editions in April and October 2022, we are happy to announce a third edition of the Julia hackathon, to be held in March 2023 in the Black Forest.

During this event, we aim at moving forward with the various open-source Julia projects within ice-flow dynamics and geodynamics where collaboration with experts enables the fast track.

Namely, we will focus on advancing Julia software engineering and high-performance, parallel, GPU-accelerated code development in following topics:

  • Performance-engineer and finalise AMDGPU.jl support in ParallelStencil and ImplicitGlobalGrid
  • Further develop rheology and material parameter routines GeoParams.jl and use/implement that in existing codes
  • Exploit AD capabilities using Enzyme.jl on GPUs
  • Advance several "differentiable modelling" projects
  • Work on FastIce.jl large-scale application
  • Refactor FastIce.jl "packaging"
  • Combine the Julia FEM code Gridap with GeoParams and AD
  • more...

Participant will team-up among topics of interest and work on their selected challenges in small groups during the week.

Stay tuned as more news will follow...
