KUALA LUMPUR, March 2 -- The HPC-AI Advisory Council (HPCAIAC) and National Supercomputing Centre (NSCC) Singapore have announced the immediate opening and acceptance of student team proposals for entry consideration in the jointly organised 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 April-end. 

It is open to teams across APAC comprising currently enrolled undergraduate, upper level and advanced degree students skilled in state-of-the-art high performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI).

According to a statement, 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 centre’s advanced supercomputing resources. 

Teams will be tasked with mastering the same complex HPC and AI workloads that are integral to today’s major advances.

Collaborating and competing remotely, each selected team must demonstrate domain and discipline mastery in two main HPC and AI areas - Molecular Dynamics Simulation using GROningen MAchine for Chemical Simulations and Deep Learning Recommendation Model.

Competing for up to US$5,000 in cash prize awards, with the grand champion team gaining entry to the annual ISC Student Cluster Competition in Germany, the winning teams will be announced in November. (US$1 = RM4.051)
