Additional Information
We're looking for one or two 'champions' for this workshop: if you are running simulations using any of the packages above and believe your usage may work well in the accelerated cases, let us know.
What we'll then do is work with you on your examples ahead of the workshop so that we can generate some real results in time for the meeting.
The benefit for you is that your simulations will then already be screaming along on a real GPU cluster!
