What it is
The eighth edition of the Marenostrum hackathon in the Open Hackathons series: an extended multi-week hybrid format focused on accelerating HPC and AI workloads with expert mentoring.
Our take
The stretched Sep 15–30 window is the tell: this is deep work, not a sprint. Teams that arrive with profiling data and a specific bottleneck get 10x more out of mentor time than teams that arrive with an idea.
