A group of six undergraduate students from Barcelona School of Informatics (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - Barcelona Tech) involved in the Mont-Blanc project has been selected to take part in the 4th HPCAC-ISC Student Cluster Competition. It is the first time that a Spanish team has been selected. The competition will take place at ISC 2015 and is an opportunity to showcase student expertise in a friendly yet spirited competition. In real time, a total of 11 teams of undergraduate students will build a small cluster of their own design on the ISC 2015 exhibit floor and race to demonstrate the best performance across a series of benchmarks and applications. The competition will conclude with a ceremony on the main conference stage to recognize participants in front of thousands of HPC luminaries.

Congratulations!
