A Preview of the SC17 Student Cluster Competiton

In this podcast, the Radio Free HPC team previews the SC17 Student Cluster Competition.

"In this real-time, non-stop, 48-hour challenge, teams of undergraduate and/or high school students assemble a small cluster on the exhibit floor and race to complete a real-world workload across a series of applications and impress HPC industry judges." 

Dan's got the inside scoop on all the new wrinkles of the competition this year, where 16 international student teams will go head-to-head. There's an all high school squad from Indiana, returning champs from China, and an all-new cloud computing component utilizing Cycle Computing on Azure.

After that, we do our Catch of the Week.
