Student Cluster Challenge

ISC’12 will feature a new activity this year in collaboration with the HPC Advisory Council – the HPCAC-ISC Student Cluster Competition. The HPC Advisory Council is the main organizer for the competition; please visit their website for detailed information (http://www.hpcadvisorycouncil.com/events/2012/ISC12-Student-Cluster-Competition/index.php).

The competition consists of five teams of university students from around the world that will compete to demonstrate the incredible capabilities of state-of-the-art high-performance cluster hardware and software. The teams will be competing in real-time and will build a small cluster of their own to demonstrate the greatest performance across a series of benchmarks and applications. The students will have a unique opportunity to learn, experience and demonstrate how high-performance computing influences our world, including day-to-day learning.

Submissions are now closed and the following teams have been chosen:

• Karlsruhe Institute of Technology,Germany
• The University of Colorado, USA
• Stony Brook University, USA
• Inspur Team 1
• Inspur Team 2

The Student Cluster Challenge is sponsored by AIRBUS
