South Africa wins world student cluster competition... again.

The ISC High Performance Student Cluster Competition has students competing to build the best supercomputer within a set budget. They are judged based on the performance of various benchmarks, cost and power consumption.

The CHPC South Africa runs a national competition and then chooses a team to compete against teams from Germany, USA, China, and others.

Wits won the last national competition. 4 Wits students and 2 Stellenbosch students were chosen as the SA team. They just beat 11 other teams to come first.

This is the 4th time SA has competed.

·       2014 - SA First

Congrats to Wits, Stellenbosch and CHPC!
