Back for their second appearance at an SC competition is the team from FAU in Germany. They’re just as engaging as ever, and are looking to make some waves at SC14.
They’re bringing the same personnel this year, along with the same cat pictures adorning their table, but have a new sponsor (NEC) and a renewed desire to win. In the video, we talk the differences between this year and last. (Example: “Last year, we didn’t know what we were doing. This year we do.”)
They also discuss why transporting an HPC cluster as carry-on luggage isn’t a good idea. We also touch upon why it’s important to keep Germans busy and active as much of the time as possible.
They’re a very fun team, and it’s great to see them back.
