Jed,
Thanks for the insight.
Maybe Hong and his Ellpack format? Or his independent set algorithm?
These two features are currently functional on NVIDIA GPUs. Neither needs
extensive development or refactorization, thus not suitable for this Argonne
GPU Hackathon. But we do need reviewers to look at the two MRs and move forward.
It is also worth mentioning that the CUDA-based maximal independent set
algorithm was developed during last GPU Hackathon at ORNL. Richard, Junchao and
I attended that one. It was a great experience. The commitment is extremely
intensive for both the mentors and the attendees.
Thanks,
Hong
Maybe Stefano and his COO matrix assembly on GPUs?
Others?

I helped with one of these a couple years ago. It's important to go in with a
well-defined problem and mini-app. If "PETSc" is the topic, then you should
start with a representative benchmark problem that runs in no more than a
couple minutes. It could be two problems, one that we think is good and one
that we think is weak. The format is good for incrementally profiling and
refactoring existing code. Probably less so for doing careful implementations
of genuinely novel algorithms. (And if you plan to do that, make sure there's a
way that the one person focused on that lift doesn't block the rest of the
team.)

Folks,
Get was able to get us into the ANL GPU hackathon that will use the
"theta" GPU system at ANL (that has NVIDIA GPUs). ALCF accounts are needed for
the hackathon (but can be created). Registration information is below. If we go
with specific goals it could be a useful experience.

select the Hackathon from the drop-down menu. Please register as soon as
possible.
Mentors
Mentors are being selected for each team based on your research fields and
coding needs. An introductory call for teams and mentors has been scheduled for
Wednesday, April 7th, details below.
System Access
