From September 4 to 7, 2023, the Paderborn Center for Parallel Computing hosted their first hackathon event that brought together researchers with diverse scientific backgrounds to collaborate on innovative High-Performance Computing (HPC) projects. Key themes included software development, accelerator programming, performance engineering, and project infrastructure support.

This autumn school introduces first-principles electronic-structure calculations. Lectures provide theoretical background on methods and materials. Practical experience will be gathered during hands-on tutorials using our CP-PAW code. In the optional second week the focus will be on a guided self-study project which will be presented in a seminar. The course targets physicists and chemists during their masters or PhD studies.

The thirteenth Call for Proposals for HPC resources at PC² is now open (Call 2024-1).
