Objectives
The 2018 MaX Hackathon will offer an informal brain-storming environment and practical coding sessions on the MaX flagship codes (Quantum ESPRESSO, Siesta, Fleur, Yambo, AiiDA), including:
- Working groups active in the development of each flagship code, e.g. targeting the development of new features, performance improvements, performance portability to new architectures including GPUs, benchmarking and profiling.
- Advanced training for developers on selected topics (novel parallel paradigms, emerging MPI and OpenMP features/standards, support of GPUs & HW heterogeneity, HDF5 and parallel IO).
- Transversal coding activities (eg parallel IO, support of common electronic structure formats, GPU support).
