Information

As part of our mission to engage young talent in supercomputing, ISC High Performance and the HPC-AI Advisory Council host the annual international Student Cluster Competition. The program introduces student teams to real-world HPC systems, applications, and challenges.

The competition combines virtual and in-person components. Twenty-one teams worldwide will access remote clusters to run applications, perform benchmarks, and complete assigned tasks. Ten teams will advance to Hamburg, where they will assemble clusters and compete on-site.

The event concludes with an award ceremony on the last competition day, recognizing both virtual and in-person winners.
