⭐️We’re proud to share the success of the 2026 Single Board Cluster Competition — now in its fourth year!⭐️

This year, the competition brought together 12 teams across four continents, with approximately 55–60 students participating. Over the course of three days, the event ran across multiple time zones, supported by a dedicated student committee, whose coordination and commitment made the experience seamless for everyone involved.

Congratulations to our top-performing teams:
🥇 National University of Singapore
🥈 UC San Diego (Team 2)
🥉 UC San Diego (Team 1)

It’s exciting to see this competition continue to grow in both scale and global reach, fostering collaboration, technical excellence, and community among students worldwide.

Looking forward to what next year brings!

Skilled experts are essential for operating super-powerful supercomputers. 👩‍💻

These machines perform complex calculations at unprecedented speeds for demanding scientific and engineering tasks, a rapidly evolving field that requires top-tier training.

That's why NSF is expanding hands-on training opportunities that allow new researchers to use advanced computing tools for discovery and innovation, including access to leading experts and world-class facilities.

Two of those initiatives are the NSF Training-based Workforce Development for Advanced Cyberinfrastructure and NSF Experiential Learning for Emerging and Novel Technologies, which focus on training and expanding the national workforce in advanced cyberinfrastructure and emerging technologies.

What can supermassive black holes tell us about how galaxies grow and evolve?

Deep in the heart of every galaxy lies a supermassive black hole – often more than a million times more massive than our sun. For decades, astronomers have studied how these cosmic giants influence the neighborhoods around them. Now, Julianne Goddard, a graduate student at the University of Kentucky's (UK) Department of Physics and Astronomy, has led a study that further validates a surprising answer: black holes don't just devour matter, they actively sculpt the very structure of their host galaxies.

Using simulations run on the Expanse system at the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) — part of the UC San Diego School of Computing, Information, and Data Sciences — Goddard has been focused on studying Seyfert galaxies, a type of galaxy with particularly active supermassive black holes at their centers. What she discovered deepens our understanding of how galaxies grow and evolve.
