About
Join the Developer Kernel Hackathon, a four-part performance challenge hosted by NVIDIA in collaboration with GPU MODE. This event invites developers to push the limits of GPU performance and optimize low-level kernels for maximum efficiency on NVIDIA Blackwell hardware. Across four problems released throughout the hackathon, participants will compete to author kernels that approach the speed of light. Whether you’re a seasoned kernel developer or just eager to test your limits, this hackathon offers the chance to showcase your expertise and join a community of world-class developers. Special thanks to our partners: Sesterce, a high-performance GPU cloud platform, is contributing DGX B200 compute resources to support participants throughout the competition. Dell is providing a Dell Pro Max with GB300 as the grand prize.
