DESCRIPTION:Contents\nThe Trillion Parameter Consortium (TPC) seeks to fos
 ter open\, collaborative research on the development and deployment of la
 rge and massive scale AI models for science. EuroTPC is Europe's coordinat
 ed presence within the TPC\, connecting Europe's leading high-performance 
 computing centres\, AI Factories and research institutions to TPC's intern
 ational governance\, working groups and scientific activities.\nThrough ha
 ckathons\, the TPC community has catalyzed the acceleration of many indivi
 dual and multi-institutional projects. LRZ\, a EuroTPC partner\, with be h
 osting the fall'26 edition of the TPC hackathon. The hackathon will start 
 on Wednesday\, September 9\, 2026 to Friday\, September 11\, 2026.\nOver t
 he course of the event\, computational scientists and researchers will wor
 k hands-on to build a first prototype of their ideas\, or port\, accelerat
 e\, scale and optimize existing AI applications for a variety of CPU and G
 PU architectures. Each team will be matched with an experienced mentor —
  well-versed in both programming techniques and the relevant application d
 omain — to help drive tangible progress and speedups through targeted us
 e of programming models\, libraries\, and optimization tools.\nHow to get 
 involved:\n\nJoin a team: If you'd like to participate as part of a team. 
 Deadline: 24.08.2026\nLead a team: If you have a problem statement of your
  own and would like to lead a team. Deadline: 20.07.2026\n\nA detailed age
 nda will follow soon. We look forward to welcoming you and seeing what you
  build!\nPrerequisites\nTeam leads are expected to be fluent with the code
  or project they bring to the event and motivated to make progress during 
 the hackathon.\nProjects brought to the event are required to have a licen
 se attached and detailed in the application. Permissive-style Open Source 
 License (e.g. BSD\, MIT or Apache 2.0 license) are preferred as it is much
  easier for the hackathon organizer to pair your team with Mentors.\nParti
 cipants are expected to be fluent with concepts of deep learning.\nLanguag
