IBM student Competition: Cell/B.E. University Challenge 07
On February 5, 2007, IBM announced the "Cell/B.E. University Challenge 07" a programming contest specifically created for university students and offering cash prizes to the winners.
While the Cell Broadband Engine ("Cell/B.E.") processor is already recognized as a workhorse of the gaming industry (e.g., Cell/B.E. processor is the digital heart of Sony's PlayStation 3,) the "Cell/B.E. University Challenge 07" is designed to spur the creative use of the Cell/B.E. processor in additional areas. From seismic simulators to financial models, creating development tools to creating business models, submissions are limited only by the imagination and innovation of the students.
Winners of the "Cell/B.E. University Challenge 07," chosen by a panel comprising academic and IBM technical experts, will
receive prizes with cash value ranging from $10,000 USD for the first place winner to $2,500 USD for the fourth place winner.
