The Sun HPC Software Programming Challenge 2009 is designed to promote the use of the Sun HPC Software, Developer Edition 1.0 for OpenSolaris by students by having them compete to design and implement the most scalable and best-performing implementation of a common parallel algorithm.
The Sun HPC Software Programming Challenge is open to students at any degree level in any discipline who are legal residents of any of the European countries listed in the rules and regulations. See Rules and Regulations below for details. Participants in this programming contest will have to develop a fault-tolerant distributed hash table (DHT) implementation based on the Sun ClusterTools OpenMPI stack provided in the Sun HPC Software stack.
This contest already began at 12:01 P.M. Pacific Time (PT) Zone in the United States (e.g. San Francisco time) which is 5:01 A.M. Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) on the 29th of June 2009 and will end at 11:59 P.M. (PT) which is 4:59 A.M. (GMT) on 10th of August 2009.
