Here are some upcoming events that could be of interest.

*GPU Hackathon*

NCSA will be hosting a joint GPU Hackathon April 20-25. The goal of this 
hackathon is for current or prospective user groups of large hybrid 
CPU-GPU systems to send teams of 3-6 developers along with either a 
(potentially) scalable application that needs to be ported to GPU 
accelerators, or an application running on accelerators which needs 
optimization. There will be intensive mentoring during this 5-day 
hands-on workshop, with the goal that the teams leave with applications 
running on GPUs, or at least with a clear roadmap of how to get there.

Entry period will stay open for only 2 weeks! The period opened on Feb 
20 and will close March 6, with selected teams notified by March 13. 
Prior GPU experience is not required! For information on how to apply, 
visit https://www.olcf.ornl.gov/training-event/2015-gpu-hackathons.

*Blue Waters Undergraduate Internships *
