November 18, 2013 – Denver, Colorado

The countdown is on. Twelve university teams are preparing for another epic battle at the student cluster-wrestling match, the SC13 Student Cluster Competition (SCC). The event will take place during the 2013 Supercomputing Conference in Denver, Colorado, beginning November 18, 2013.  The teams will compete on the SC13 exhibition hall to see whose supercomputer is the fastest on a variety of HPC benchmarks and workloads. There are two competition tracks this year: Big Iron and Commodity Iron. But first, here’s some breaking cluster news: For the first time ever, there will be a special “Celebrity Pro-Am Cluster Challenge” pitting HPC industry professionals against the student competitors to see who can reign supreme on a surprise application. More details on this as they become available. For more details, please visit http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/10/11/student_cluster_wars_reboot/?goback=.gde_1775643_member_5795528543148457987#
