Team Wits, winners of the Student Cluster Competition run by CHPC and the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research , sponsored by Dell Technologies South Africa, honed their skills at the Dell HPC and AI Innovation Lab at Dell HQ in Round Rock as well as Texas Advanced Computing Centre at the University of Texas.
During their time at the Texas Advanced Computing Centre, Team CHPC learned about various modern HPC systems that support researchers worldwide, helping researchers tackle the computational and data challenges associated with Artificial Intelligence workflows. “South Africa’s government support of international Cyber Infrastructure excellence is paying off,” says Team CHPC coach Nyameko Lisa. “It is imperative that the CHPC continues to leverage partnerships and collaboration so that through the use of technology we may navigate, understand and solve our indigenous challenges and those across the continent.”
High-performance computing has been a powerful tool for researchers and scientists for decades. But recent rapid advancements in processing power and connectivity, combined with massive new sources of real time information, are fuelling the next industrial revolution as well as the next quantum leap in human progress.
