The HPC-AI Advisory Council and ISC-HPC thank Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center (Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh) and SciNet (University of Toronto) for their support in the ISC22 Student Cluster Competition.
The competition will include applications that address education and applied learning towards accelerating bioscience research and discovery. The student teams will be tasked to test several applications that are being used by scientists and researchers.
“The ISC SCC is an integral part of ISC 2022,” the organizers note. “Its ongoing success and growing recognition as a world championship competition are a result of the collaborative partnership between ISC and the HPC-AI Advisory Council. Over these intense competition days, the teams demonstrate incredible capabilities of obtaining the greatest performance across a series of benchmarks and applications. In parallel to their day-to-day learning, the students’ novel approaches and unique perspectives gained during the competition are integral to our own education – teaching us how HPC influences our world.”
