Want even more more detail in your Big Iron coverage? Try The Platform
Former Vulture TPM and El Reg team up on new publication

The Platform is a new publication announced today in partnership with
The Register. It will offer in-depth coverage of high-end computing at
large enterprises, supercomputing centers, hyperscale data centers, and
public clouds.

Some companies are building their own platforms for internal use, while
others are building platforms for others to use to run their
applications as a service.

STUDENT RACK WARS: Science and HPC – all the kids are doing it these
days
New Orleans students grapple brain-crunching apps

It's well past the time to discuss and analyse what happened at the
exciting seventh annual Student Cluster Competition, which took place
at SC14 in New Orleans late last year.

Just after SC14 closed, I took a long trip to South Africa to cover its
CHPC cluster competition – the intra-country bout that has spawned its
ISC'13 and ISC'14 Champion teams.

Cluster-grappling kids clash: Battle of the Big Iron in the Big Easy
Bring your HPC weapons to the Mississippi
http://go.reg.cx/ml/9e7f3/54fb90ff/5c6f00ff/2e29

Two hundred years after the first Battle of New Orleans*, we saw the
third, and perhaps most important, tussle the city has ever seen. I am,
of course, referring to the SC14 Student Cluster Competition (here's a
quick guide on how the youngsters' HPC battles work).

This is the seventh time that university students have battled each
other to see which team can field a cluster that can dominate all
others – while staying under the 3,000 Watt power cap.
