The HPC-AI Advisory Council (HPCAIAC) and National Supercomputing Centre (NSCC) Singapore on Tuesday announced the immediate opening and acceptance of student team proposals for entry consideration in the jointly organized and hosted 2021 APAC HPC-AI Competition.
Focused on showcasing the region’s top technical institutions and colleges, submissions for the 4th annual competition are being accepted through the end of April and open to teams across APAC comprised of currently enrolled undergraduate, upper level and advanced degree students skilled in state-of-the-art high performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI).
The Chief Executive at NSCC, Associate Professor Tan Tin Wee said that the key takeaway from the pandemic Covid-19 must be the importance of being prepared.
“Initiatives like the APAC HPC-AI competition play a crucial role in training, nurturing and equipping the next generation of HPC and AI professionals with the necessary skills needed to tackle future global challenges, such as pandemics,” he said.
Following the end of April final roster reveal, 2021 challengers will balance academic courses along with demands of the six-month competition.
Through NSCC’s generosity, student competitors will have hands-on access to the Singapore-based center’s advanced supercomputing resources.
Dedicating cycle time provides students the same privileged hands-on access as the research community. Teams will be tasked with mastering the same complex HPC and AI workloads that are integral to today’s major advances.
