We are running a parallel programming contest for students with BIG prizes (read the exact rules for eligibility, etc.) through October 29, 2015.  The winners will have optimized the brain-simulation code we supply to registrants, and will be announced on November 15, 2015 at the Intel® HPC Developer Conference. Qualified students should register now – and get started working on optimizing the code! (Employees of Intel, Newcastle and Colfax and their families are not eligible – check the rules for the official details!)
