Tokyo Tech and Osaka University hosted the 24th Supercomputing Contest (SuperCon) for high school and technical college students from August 20 to 24. This year, twenty-two teams who advanced through the preliminary rounds created programs for TSUBAME3.0, Tokyo Tech's supercomputer.
Twelve teams of two to three students from eastern Japan took on the challenge at the Tokyo Tech Global Scientific Information and Computing Center (GSIC), while ten western Japan teams put their minds to work at Osaka University's Cybermedia Center (CMC).
