The ∂GPU4GEO team and external collaborators will gather for the 9th Julia hackathon 🎉, March 16 - 20 2026 to advance geoscientific Julia projects.
∂GPU4GEO Julia hackathon
After seven successful editions, we are happy to announce a 9th edition of the Julia hackathon, to be held in March 2026 in the Black Forest.
Save the dates: March 16 - 20 2026
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
- Learn about the Chmy v0.2 prototype 🚀
- and 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...
