In the Preliminary round of ASC25, teams are encouraged to put forth their best efforts to complete the assigned tasks and submit comprehensive proposal documentation. Submissions should include detailed cluster design, source code optimization approaches, and output files. The ASC25 evaluation committee will rigorously review all proposals in English, ensuring a fair and thorough assessment.
Important Deadline.All participating teams must submit the required materials by 24:00, February 21, 2025 (UTC/GMT +8:00).
Proposal Submission.Name the proposal using the format: [University/College Name]_[Contact Person Name] (e.g., ABC_University_John_Doe). Save the proposal as a single PDF file.
Additional Materials.All the additional information should be compressed into one file using the same naming convention: ABC_University_John_Doe. The compressed file should include at least four folders, per the requirements detailed in Appendix A. Please upload the compressed file to the FTP server. The FTP server address will be provided via email at a later date.
Output files of HPL
Output files of HPCG
Required files of AlphaFold3 inference challenge
Required files of RNA m5C challenge
Answer: It’s allowed only to convert the model format as long as not change the precision and please note that any method to reduce the model size like quantization or pruning are not allowed.
Answer: It is permissible to use a precision other than bf16 as long as keeping the model weights and computations with 16-bit or higher precision.
Answer: The evaluation criterion is based on the prediction time for individual protein sequences, rather than the overall throughput of batch processing. Consequently, simply using multiple GPUs to process different sequences in parallel does not align with the optimization objectives of the competition.
Answer: Reference can be retrieved and downloaded
from various bioinformatics databases, and it's easy to find some
tutorials from online resources. Here is the link to the ENSEMBL
database:

Answer: Before submit the proposal you can send us your three result files, we will helping to check the correctness of the results for you.
