7th KAUST-NVIDIA Workshop on Accelerating Scientific Applications using GPUs
All sessions of this event will be hosted VIRTUALLY on Zoom.
Date: November 23rd to December 10th, 2020
The KAUST Supercomputing Core Laboratory (KSL) in collaboration with NVIDIA are pleased to invite you to the 7th annual workshop on "Accelerating Scientific Applications using GPUs". This event provides an opportunity for attendees to learn about the latest advances by NVIDIA in Scientific Computing and Artificial Intelligence as well as showcasing the related KAUST success stories using GPUs.
Organizers
| Saber Feki, Workshop Chair | |
| Bilel Hadri, HPC Hackathon Chair | |
| Mohsin Ahmed Shaikh, AI competition Chair |
Hackathon
Dates: November 30th – December 2nd, 2020
As part of the workshop, we will be running 2 days of GPU hackathon where teams of developers will bring their own codes to either port to GPUs or optimize their pre-existing GPU codes on NVIDIA GPUs. Please see Call for Proposal for more details on how to participate.
For participation please submit this registration form.
AI competition
Dates: November 23rd – December 10th, 2020
This year we are introducing an opportunity for those interested in developing Artificial Intelegence applications for analysing their scientific simulation big data. Geospatial datasets along with a problem statement will be provided to the participants who will try and come up with a high performing Machine Learning/Deep Learning model. Prizes will be awarded to the best performing model. For details and registration please visit this PDF.
For beginners in Machine Learning and AI, we are running a separate event where the participants will have chance to train a regression model on a house pricing dateset. Some instructional resources along with a hands-on component has also been planned to give audience a background.
Agenda
Note: For the events requiring registration, a confirmation email will be sent along with the link to the webinar. Please add this to your calendars for your convenience.
