Tsinghua University wins ISC18 championship

Shanghai University of Science and Technology wins the most popular award and is also the best of the two applications of HPCG Tensorflow. This year's ISC Supercomputing Competition has a total of 12 undergraduate college students from all over the world to participate in the competition. The competition requires that each team must complete the Super 3000W power constraint. The calculation system was set up to complete HPP and HPCG benchmarks for high-performance computing in the three-day competition. The popular open source deep learning framework TensorFlow, the open source finite element analysis software Nektar++, grid computing Grid, and on-site published mysterious applications .

Tsinghua University team uses Inspur NF5280M5 as competition host, is Inspur specializes in AI calculation acceleration scene optimization design, adopts unified basic configuration, supports diversified and variable modules, and meets up to 30 through the ultimate design of spatial layering technology. More than one kind of application requirements have withstood the test of the competition.

Li Beichen, the team captain of Tsinghua University, said after the game: 'It is very exciting to be able to win the championship of the ISC's supercomputer competition. What is more important is to learn from the teams of other countries in the world and exchange the latest knowledge of supercomputers. The experience has brought very valuable help to the growth of each team member. '

Tsinghua University’s coach Qi Jidong believes that participating in the ISC competition is not as much preparation time as the ASC competition. Therefore, the test of the team’s on-the-spot performance and knowledge reserves is greater, and everyone needs to play the best possible condition. , Tsinghua University has accumulated a very good experience in echelon building in student training to ensure that the team members understand as much as possible the supernumerary knowledge and form the foundation for the cultivation of supernumerary talents.
