Once again, the SC Conference series is pleased to host the Student Cluster Competition (SCC), now in its eighteenth year, at SC23. 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 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.

Competition teams are composed of six students, an advisor, and vendor partners. The students provide their skills and enthusiasm, the advisor provides guidance, and the vendor provides resources (e.g., software, expertise, and travel funding).

The SC23 Student Cluster Competition will be an in-person event in Denver, November 13-15, 2023. The competition will be chaired by Jenett Tillotson, National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR).

The SCC23 Committee conducted two webinars, on April 25 and 27, to describe the competition and answer questions. They described several rule changes, including new per-node power limits and a power budget for networking equipment. They also described how to form a successful team, including new rules requiring that half of the team members must be new to the SCC. The webinar slides are here, and recordings of the webinars are here and here.

More SCC information is on the Supercomputing site.
