Reinventing HPC

Student Cluster Competition

The ISC 2024 Student Cluster Competition is an ISC exhibition and conference highlight!

As part of the mission to expose young people to HPC, ISC 2024 and the HPC-AI Advisory Council hosted the 13th edition of the ISC Student Cluster Competition (ISC SCC). The competition actively shapes the careers of STEM university students by introducing them to the industry, HPC systems, machine learning applications, and more.

We congratulate Team Diable from Tsinghua University, China for placing first in the onsite ISC 2024 Student Cluster Competition, and Team SYSU from Sun Yat-Sen University, China for capturing the top spot in the virtual part of the ISC SCC.
