We are excited to invite you to a dynamic three-day workshop and hackathon focused on two powerful tools for high-performance computing: alpaka and openPMD. This event will bring together developers, researchers, and enthusiasts from diverse backgrounds to collaborate, learn, and innovate.
Join us for an engaging and productive event where innovation meets collaboration. Whether you are new to alpaka and openPMD or an experienced user, this workshop and hackathon will provide valuable insights and opportunities to advance your skills and projects and at the end you will be ready to use these powerful libraries in your own projects.
This hackathon is organized by HZDR/CASUS with the Plasma-PEPSC CoE in collaboration with ENCCS and EuroCC@GCS, High-Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (HLRS), Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC), Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ) - National Competence Centres for High-Performance Computing.
This hybrid event will take place online and at

alpaka (Abstraction Library for Parallel Kernel Acceleration) is a powerful C++ library designed to enable portable and efficient parallel programming across a variety of hardware platforms. It provides a uniform API that abstracts the underlying hardware, allowing developers to write parallel code that can be executed on different backends, such as CPUs, GPUs, and FPGAs. By using alpaka, developers can achieve high performance and maintain portability, making it an ideal choice for high-performance computing (HPC) applications.
Key features of Alpaka include:

openPMD (Open Standard for Particle-Mesh Data) is a community-driven metadata standard for describing and storing scientific data in a portable and scalable manner. It provides a FAIR data format for particle and mesh data, enabling blazingly fast and easy IO, sharing, analysis, and visualization of large datasets. The openPMD standard ensures consistency and interoperability across different software and hardware platforms, promoting reproducible research and collaboration.
Key features of openPMD include:
Extensibility: Flexible and extensible to accommodate specific needs of different scientific domains.
