Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, January 20 (Reporter Wen Jinghua) The 2022 ASC World College Student Supercomputer Competition (ASC22) has been launched simultaneously in Beijing, Hefei and online. More than 300 teams from all over the world signed up for the competition, and the teams that passed the preliminaries will participate in the finals held at the University of Science and Technology of China from May 7th to 11th.
According to reports, ASC22 adopts the “preliminary + final” competition system, and the competition topic focuses on the integration of high-performance computing and artificial intelligence. In the preliminaries from January 5th to March 4th, the participating college teams need to complete two extremely challenging cutting-edge application questions, namely the “source” AI language model and the representative software of AI+Science DeePMD-kit , which will be a huge test for the supercomputing application and innovation ability of the participating teams.
The teams shortlisted for the finals will compete in benchmarking, high-performance computing and artificial intelligence and other application questions, and participate in English defenses to compete for the championship and runner-up, the e Prize Computing Challenge Award, the highest computing performance award and many other awards.
Wang Endong, the initiator of the ASC competition and academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said that since the ASC competition was held for 10 years, the competition mode of “promoting learning through competition and meeting friends through competition” has achieved remarkable results. Many students have increased their understanding of supercomputing through the competition. Join the front line of supercomputing research and application, and become the “supercomputing force” of the new generation.
The ASC World University Student Supercomputing Competition is a supercomputing competition for university students initiated by China. It aims to promote the exchange and training of young supercomputing talents between countries and regions, improve the level of supercomputing application and research and development capabilities, and promote technological and industrial innovation. The competition has been successfully held for 9 sessions so far, attracting more than 10,000 college students from all over the world to participate. (Finish)
