IU at the Supercomputing Conference

The Supercomputing conference series, sponsored annually by the IEEE and ACM, is the most important conference worldwide in the areas of high performance computing and networking. Indiana University has contributed displays to the exhibit floor nearly every year since 1997.

SC2008

Indiana University is enabling new types of research, pedagogy, creative activity, and community impact by building one of the world's foremost research computing environments. IU's presence at the 2008 Supercomputing conference builds on the successes from last year's conference, notably its bandwidth challenge victory and strong showing in the cluster challenge. Highlighted at the conference were presentations in: Grids and Cyberinfrastructure, Digital Arts & Humanities (IDAH), Life Sciences, and special musical events. IU collaborated with Technische Universitat Dresden, forming the "ClusterMeisters," a team of undergraduates from both institutions, to compete in the Cluster Challenge. The team was successfull, winning the Challenge.
