Join us for the 2025 ALCF INCITE GPU Hackathon to work with expert mentors to prepare your code and boost its performance for the upcoming INCITE call for proposals. Applications will be accepted for both Aurora and Polaris.

The hackathon will pair selected teams of researchers with experts from ALCF and vendors. Teams and individuals will work together on their applications for their upcoming INCITE proposal submissions. Teams can also attend the hackathon to prepare for submissions to DOE's ASCR Leadership Computing Challenge (ALCC).

Important Dates:

  • April 4: Application Deadline 
  • April 16: Application Acceptance Notification 
  • May 6-8: Team-Expert Virtual Introductory Meeting and Aurora Onboarding
  • May 20-22: In-Person Hackathon at Argonne National Laboratory

Only one team member needs to apply, preferably the lead. After reviewing submissions, we will notify selected teams about the next steps. 

Please do not hesitate to reach to us with questions or comments at alcfevents@alcf.anl.gov.
