SUMMARY:RACKlette
DESCRIPTION:Student Cluster Competition\n\nRACKlette\n\nNasser El Harake, 
 Roemer, Luczynski, Wu, Lompa...\n\nTeam RACKlette is a student team which 
 is active all year round. This allows us to form a strong team spirit and 
 friendships in the team. Our team currently consists of 15 members at vary
 ing stages of their studies of which 12 can still perform in the SCC. We m
 ake sure that all members get to join at least one competition a year. Eve
 n those who aren't part of the competing team give their support and assis
 tance. In addition to this, our alumni members form the backbone of the te
 am; offering knowledge and handy tricks that are useful in any situation. 
 This is remarkable since despite being supported by ETHZ regarding knowled
 ge, advice and funding, we are not getting any credits towards our degrees
  for our commitment in Team RACKlette.\nNonetheless all team members are e
 ager to compete and gain new experiences and insights into the rapidly exp
 anding fields of HPC and AI. These competitions give us unique insights in
 to ongoing research,cutting edge business and give us relevant life experi
 ences that help us in deciding our future master programs and careers. The
  experience we gain from competitions like SC also compliments what we lea
 rn in lectures and lets us consolidate what we learned so far. It also pre
 pares us for future lectures in teaching us how to interact with servers a
 nd run code efficiently.\n\nOur advisors are Torsten Hoefler and Hussein H
 arake.\nProfessor Hoefler inspired the founding of Team RACKlette and has 
 supported us ever since. He has prior experience with Student Cluster Comp
 etitions as a participant and as an advisor of winning teams (e.g. SC'08, 
 ISC'19).\nMr. Harake is a HPC System Manager at CSCS and our contact for e
 verything related to our cluster hardware. He has supported Team RACKlette
  since its founding as well and is the main reason we’ve been able to get 
 so many cutting edge hardware sponsorships by so many vendors..\n\nOur tea
 m for this year’s SC-competition is built with balance and diversity in mi
 nd. One team member participated in last year’s Indy-SCC and ISC22, anothe
 r member participated in ISC22 and four members will have their first chan
 ce to join a HPC competition at SC22. With this mix we strike a balance be
 tween experienced and new members. Our plan is to lay a foundation with th
 e more experienced members on which the newer participants can build. Addi
 ng to the difference in HPC experience is the spread in academic experienc
 e and interests. The team consists of students from «Computer Science» (CS
 ) and «Computational Science & Engineering» (CSE) which allows us to have 
 a theoretical as well as practical background for HPC. In addition to the 
 Computer Science background members have had lectures in i.e. Physics, Rob
 otics and Biology. ETHZ also emphasizes taking lectures outside the standa
 rd curriculum. Therefore everybody has to take courses in «Humanities, Soc
 ial and Political Sciences». These lectures can be in i.e. History, Econom
 ics or Philosophy.\n\nRegistration Category: Tech Program Reg Pass, Exhibi
