SC14 is over and the HPC Obstacle Challenge has been run! DataSite and RedLine Performance Solutions want to thank everyone who came by to see us and those who dared to take the HPC Obstacle Challenge!
Contestants had 3:00 minutes to maneuver the Sphero through four obstacles on the HPC Obstacle Challenge Course! The person with the best time at the end of the day got to take home a Sphero of their very own. (Although we are pretty sure there are a number of people who didn’t win a Sphero, who are going to add them to their wish list from Santa this year!)
The course they had to master was made up of a “mantrap” (arches) you had to get through consecutively, “parallel computing stacks” you had to get between (not in consecutive order thank goodness), three “UPS” you had to knock completely down and then into the “water-cooled piping” and land in the cup at the end. Harder than it sounds, as many of our players can attest to.
However there were four that stood out above the rest and these four champions claimed a Sphero of their very own! AND THE WINNERS ARE:
Once again THANK YOU to everyone that came by to say hello! We hope to see you again at SC15! #hpcmatters
