Hackathon Program Manager - APAC

High Performance Computing (HPC) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are key markets for NVIDIA. Researchers and scientists are actively embracing accelerated computing to boost their research. To help onboard researchers to accelerated computing, NVIDIA is running a series of hackathons and bootcamp training events in collaboration with national labs, universities, and industry partners. Bootcamps are one or two day events where experts instruct attendees via lectures and hands-on labs. Hackathons are typically week-long intensive coding sessions where expert mentors team up with groups of researchers to guide through acceleration or optimizing of their codes on GPUs and CPUs using a number of programming models and tools.
