<p>Dear users,</p>
<p>the MaX Centre of Excellence is pleased to announce the 2018 MaX Hackathon<br />(Barcelona, 16-20 July 2018), a coding week dedicated to exascaling in<br />electronic structure codes.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.max-centre.eu/max-hackathon/">http://www.max-centre.eu/max-hackathon/</a></p>
<p>MaX - Materials Design at the Exascale - is an EU-H2020 Centre of Excellence<br />aimed at driving the exascale transition in the domain of materials science by<br />pushing software development and performance, uptake of HPC technology, and<br />hardware-software codesign for a set of selected applications, the MaX flagship<br />codes: Quantum ESPRESSO, SIESTA, Fleur, Yambo, and AiiDA.</p>
<p>The 2018 MaX-Hackathon will offer an informal brain-storming environment and<br />practical coding sessions, including:<br />Working groups active in the development of each flagship code, eg targeting<br />the development of new features, performance improvements, performance<br />portability to new architectures including GPUs.<br />Advanced training for developers on selected topics (novel parallel paradigms,<br />emerging MPI and OpenMP features/standards, support of GPUs & HW heterogeneity,<br />HDF5 and parallel IO).<br />Transversal coding activities (eg parallel IO, support of common electronic<br />structure formats, GPU support).</p>
<p>Venue and dates: Barcelona, Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya (UPC); 16-20th<br />July 2018.<br />More info, including application form, updated workplan and participant list,<br />can be found at: <a href="http://www.max-centre.eu/max-hackathon/">http://www.max-centre.eu/max-hackathon/</a>.</p>
<p>Deadline for applications is June 23, 2018. A few fellowships are available to<br />partially cover travel and accommodation expenses.</p>
<p>Best regards,</p>
