A touch of the keyboard or push of the joystick, and massive dump trucks loaded with coal, giant combines harvesting soybeans, and aircraft observing landscapes do the work of a multitude of humans as software and satellite work together. So why, wondered Indiana University Professor Steven Johnson's computer science students, shouldn't the trip between Bloomington and Indianapolis be as simple as stepping into an elevator?

The "ClusterMeisters," a team of undergraduates from Indiana University and Technische Universität Dresden, will compete in the 2008 Cluster Challenge at SC08, the premier international conference for high performance computing, networking, storage and analysis. SC, formerly known as Supercomputing, celebrates its 20th anniversary when it opens November 17, 2008 in Austin, Texas. The goal of the Cluster Challenge competition is to showcase the ability of clusters and open-source software to solve interesting and important problems, and to expose undergraduates to state-of-the-art systems and the best and brightest of their peers.
