Objectives
This hackathon is aimed at application developers interested in learning about the impact of the latest Arm processor features on their High Performance Computing and Machine Learning applications. Arm researchers and engineers will describe the company's HPC tools (including compilers, math libraries, debugging and profiling tools) to explore what benefits this processor can bring.
During the hackathon, the MN4 CTE-ARM cluster will be used and various applications developed at BSC will be optimized to be executed on this type of hardware.
This activity is organized in collaboration with the Arm company, within the framework of the Arm-BSC Center of Excellence and the European EPI project.
