(ECNS) -- Students from Shanghai Jiaotong University claimed the championship in the 2025 ASC Student Supercomputer Challenge (ASC25) that concluded in Xining, Qinghai Province, on Wednesday.
The team from Peking University secured second place in the competition.
The ASC25, which lasted five days, was launched by China and supported by experts and institutions from Asia, the U.S., and European countries, attracting more than 300 college teams.
Twenty-five college teams participated in the finals, which required each team to design and assemble a small supercomputing cluster under a 4,000-watt power limit, run and optimize internationally recognized benchmarks HPL and HPCG, then address other challenges in AlphaFold3 and DeepSeek, and other related tasks. Additionally, the teams had to participate in an oral defense in English.
Jonathan Faller, a college student from South Africa who made it to the ASC finals for the first time, said all three members of his team were first-timers to the ASC, and the competition was very challenging.
ASC is not only a competition, but also a platform that connects students, mentors, and industry leaders around the world, allowing knowledge, creativity and cutting-edge technology to collide for more possibilities, said Jack Dongarra, Chairman of the ASC Expert Committee.
The event has been held twelve times. It is the largest university supercomputing competition in the world.
