SUMMARY:Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg
DESCRIPTION:Student Cluster Competition\n\nFriedrich-Alexander-Universität
  Erlangen-Nürnberg\n\nErnst, Igharo, Chirumamilla Hagadur, Holtmann, Polli
 nger...\n\nWe as a team represent the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erla
 ngen-Nürnberg (FAU). In the past decade, FAU has participated in many clus
 ter competitions around the world and SCC was one among them for 8 years. 
 Since then, the support team in the background has continued to develop co
 nstantly, but support staff from the early days are still involved. This e
 xperience is granting us broader exposure to the students and strengthens 
 ongoing co-operations with our sponsors. Furthermore, the university provi
 des continuous support in hardware and financial means since the first par
 ticipation in 2013. Additionally, we have one team member who was involved
  in the team from last year which benefits the team since he can pass on h
 is knowledge gained in handling the hardware and preparing for the competi
 tion in general. \nThe advantage for our team is that most of our team mem
 bers are studying Computer Science and one team member studies Computation
 al Engineering which provides us with strong programming skills. Hardware 
 architecture and basic understanding of computers is a part of those studi
 es as well, so we’re prepared for all aspects of building a system that is
  capable of being successful. We have chosen a variety of different specia
 lizations which provides valuable insights from various fields. For exampl
 e, some of us have minors in physics, theoretical computer science and art
 ificial intelligence. \nAll of us have student jobs related to our field o
 f studying at our university or a company. This enables us to attain pract
 ical knowledge that helps us in overcoming the challenges we face in the c
 ompetition. For example, one of our students’ work is closely related to t
 he MRTs from Siemens giving him a clear idea of how to handle especially t
 ime sensitive hardware. Two of us had some hands on Robotics especially on
  Robotic Arms and Navigation gaining some knowledge on Machine Architectur
 e. Two other students worked as tutors giving them the ability to explain 
 and put their thoughts in words well. \nIt is also beneficial that the tea
 m members have worked on servers and Robots as their private projects duri
 ng their free time therefore having a good grip on Linux and the Linux com
 mand line tools. \nOur Advisor, Dominik Ernst, is a PhD student at FAU and
  the NHR@FAU’s GPU expert. He holds a master's degree with honors in Compu
 tational Engineering. His research combines analytic performance modelling
  for GPUs and automatic code analysis in support of code generation and ke
 rnel execution decisions. His broad background in GPU porting and optimiza
 tion in various applications fields includes internships at NVIDIA in Sant
 a Clara and at CERN in Geneva. \nAs a member of the first ever team that c
 ompeted in the SCC for the FAU in 2013 and 2014, he is no stranger to this
  competition. \nWe as a team are looking forward to gaining practical know
 ledge as well as making use of the networking opportunities. We hope we co
 uld implement the skills attained and this background would help us to suc
 cessfully handle the different applications of the competition.\n\nRegistr
