In the video, we meet the 2012 edition of the Texas Longhorn Student Cluster Competition team. This video was shot right after they received the scientific application data sets and had begun their initial processing. We discuss how they parcel up the work in their cluster and the tools they now have to give them a much better idea of what they can (and can’t) accomplish with their hardware. We also talk about why they didn’t bring the immersive cooling gear that they sported last year – better known as the server deep-fryer. And finally, we find that even though they said goodbye to their mineral oil-cooled cluster a little more than a year ago, their hands remain soft and silky smooth.
