Students: Increase Your Application Speed – Student Cluster Competition Deadline is April 17, 2015

The clock is ticking down for teams to submit their applications for the SC15 Student Cluster Competition. The deadline to apply for a spot in this year’s competition is Friday, April 17.

Launched at SC07 to showcase student expertise in a friendly yet spirited competition, the Student Cluster Competition aims to introduce the next generation of students to the high-performance computing community. Over the years, the competition has drawn teams from Australia, Canada, China, Costa Rica, Germany, Russia, Taiwan and the United States.

Team proposals must be submitted via the SC15 submission site at https://submissions.supercomputing.org/.

Team applications due: April 17, 2015
Email Contact: student-cluster-competition@info.supercomputing.org

Panel Submissions due April 24, 2015

Proposals for thought-provoking panels will be accepted though Friday, April 24. Panels should bring together the key thinkers and producers in the field to consider in a lively and rapid-fire context some of the key questions challenging high-performance computing, networking, storage and associated analysis technologies for the foreseeable future.

This year, panel committee members at SC15 will prepare a series of challenging questions to be revealed to panelists only during the panel. You just have to be there to see how they will have to defend themselves in real-time!

Panels due: April 24, 2015

ACM Gordon Bell Prize Applications due April 24, 2015

The Gordon Bell Prize is awarded each year to recognize outstanding achievement in high performance computing. The purpose of the award is to track the progress over time of parallel computing, with particular emphasis on rewarding innovation in applying high performance computing to applications in science, engineering, and large-scale data analytics. Prizes may be awarded for peak performance or special achievements in scalability and time-to-solution on important science and engineering problems. 

Applications due: April 24, 2015
Email contact: acm-awards@acm.org
