SC18 Student Cluster Competition Important Update

Student Cluster Competition (SCC) Submissions Deadline Extended to April 27!

The submission deadline for SCC proposals has been extended by one week to April 27, 2018.  Don’t miss out on your chance to participate in this always popular event!

The SCC was developed to immerse undergraduate and high school students in high performance computing. Student teams design and build small clusters, with hardware and software vendor partners, learn designated scientific applications, apply optimization techniques for their chosen architectures.

They compete in a non-stop, 48-hour challenge to complete a real-world scientific workload, while impressing conference attendees and interview judges with their HPC knowledge.

For the second year, they will also have access to cloud computing resources and will use the cloud to supplement their computing resources at SC18.
