The Fusion Group participated in the BSC-NVIDIA GPU Hackathon for HPC
The BSC GPU Hackathon took place in the online format on the 25th of October and the first week of November. This multi-day event, co-organized by NVIDIA and Barcelona Supercomputer Center (BSC), and promoted by Raise Center of Excellence, CHEESE and CompBioMed was a part of the BSCTech Hackathons 2021 series. Its main goal was to help teams accelerate their own code on GPUs using a programming model or machine learning framework of their choice under the guidance of expert mentors from national labs, universities, and industry leaders. Through the partnership with NVIDIA and OpenACC the event provided a thrilling opportunity for the scientists to test their applications and enhance their experience.
Javier Santaolalla’s science communication videos on fusion and ITER
Over the years, scientific research and advancements have been strongly tied to science communication. Although investing time and effort into developing the technical and physical knowledge that is necessary for science to progress, it is equally important to spend that same time and effort into properly communicating said progress to the non-scientific public. If this task is not taken seriously enough, we expose ourselves to the risk of misinformation spreading, leading to people taking important decisions with misleading information.
