Congratulations to Team NTU for winning the Silver Award at the 2014 Asia Student Supercomputer Challenge (ASC14) held in Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou (China).
In the finals, the finalists had to build their own supercomputer system architecture within a 3000W power budget and execute a series of applications including HPL (Linpack), Quantum Espresso, LICOM, SU2, and mpiBLAST (secret application). In the code optimisation category, the 3D-EW code was executed on the world’s fastest supercomputer, Tianhe-2.
During the finals, a new Linpack record was established at 9.272TFlops by Sun Yat-sen University. It was Team NTU's maiden attempt and they were competing amongst veteran teams from China (National University of Defense Technology, Huazhong University of Science and Technology).
Team NTU was described as the 'dark horse' of this challenge during the preliminary and the final rounds, and they overcame all odds to emerge runners-up in this multinational challenge.
