GPU4GEO Julia hackathon

After six successful editions, we are happy to announce a 7th edition of the Julia hackathon, to be held in October 2025 in the Black Forest.

Save the dates: March 24 - 28 2025

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:

  • Work on AD capabilities using Enzyme.jl on GPUs
  • Further develop rheology and material parameter routines GeoParams.jl and use/implement that in existing codes
  • Advance several "differentiable modelling" projects
  • 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...
