Welcome to ASC14
To whom it may concern With the supports from the High Performance Computing (HPC) experts and organizations, the ASC13 Student Supercomputer Challenge has concluded with great success. We have 43 teams registered and 142 universities interested, including Russia, Korea, India, Kazakhstan,Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, Hong Kong etc.. The ASC13 greatly promotes the HPC popularity and motivates the HPC young generation. The ASC13 becomes the biggest student supercomputer challenge, in terms of the registered team amount. The ASC14 Student Supercomputer Challenge ( ASC14, hereafter) is opening the arms to all universities, institutes, and other academic organization worldwide. We are calling for registration and preliminary contest preparation. Through the challenge, the ASC hopes to gather the HPC talents, motivate them toward HPC, and inspire their innovation passion of Wisdom Unbound. We believe with the impacts of ASC, many young talents will start their journey of meeting HPC, understanding HPC, and loving HPC. Some of them may finally take HPC as a career option, such as some students from National Defense University team have already contributed to the Tianhe-1A and Tianhe2. The final goal of ASC is to culture the HPC scientists and engineers, who will contribute to exploring the unknowns and realizing the dreams of the entire human being. We wish all teams the best of luck in ASC14.More at www.asc-events.org Please register from http://www.asc-events.org/ASC14/Register.php ,if you are 1, Interested in HPC architecture and applications 2, From an academic organization (one team each) 3, With five team members (must be undergraduate students) and at least one advisor
