Once again, the SC Conference series is pleased to host the Student Cluster Competition (SCC), now in its twelfth year, at SC18. The SCC is an opportunity for students to showcase their expertise in a friendly, yet spirited, competition. Held as part of the Students@SC program, the SCC is designed to introduce the next generation of students to the high-performance computing community. The competition draws teams of undergraduate students from around the world.

The application reviews have been completed and the SC18 Student Cluster Competition (SCC) committee has invited 15 teams to compete in this year's event in Dallas, Texas. One extra slot is reserved for the winner of the ISC 2018 Student Cluster Competition. The teams hail from across the U.S., and from Asia, Europe, and Australia.

The Student Cluster Competition is an HPC multi-disciplinary experience integrated within the HPC community's biggest gathering, the Supercomputing Conference. The competition is a microcosm of a modern HPC center that teaches and inspires students to pursue careers in the field. It demonstrates the breadth of skills, technologies and science that it takes to build, maintain and utilize supercomputers. In this real-time, non-stop, 48-hour challenge, teams of undergraduate and/or high school students assemble small clusters on the exhibit floor, and race to complete real-world workloads across a series of applications and impress HPC-industry judges.
