Taiwan's inaugural NCHC X NVIDIA GPU Hackathon awaits the best teams to duel it out

The NCHC of the NARLabs and NVIDIA will co-host Taiwan's inaugural NCHC X NVIDIA GPU Hackathon, an online program specifically designed to help accelerate the programs. Participants will bring their own study case and objectives to the event. The NCHC will provide the powerful TWCC cloud platform, and top instructors from different nations will help participants, who will learn in group studies and from exchanges with experts in various fields. In this intensive Hackathon with the help of instructors, the application program the team has not managed to finish for some time can be quickly made parallel and be run on GPU. The problems in application can be quickly resolved and the program can be surprisingly accelerated.
