The selection of the student team to represent South Africa at the International Supercomputing Conference starts with an invitation to universities from around the country so that students from all backgrounds are given a chance to learn and compete.
South African undergraduate students have placed in the top three positions of the international Student Cluster Competition every year since they first competed in 2013.
A team of six South African undergraduate students has taken first prize against 13 teams at the International Supercomputing Conference (ISC) in Frankfurt, Germany. The spectacular success follows four days of working on a selection of tests and applications to optimise and run their computer cluster to demonstrate the performance of their chosen design. The competition took place from 16 to 19 June 2019.
The leakage of plastic waste into the environment, including the marine environment, is an issue of global concern.
The leakage of plastic waste into the environment, especially in the marine environment, is an issue of growing global concern. In South Africa, the need to find sustainable solutions is highlighted by the growing consumption of single-use plastic combined with weak waste collection, recycling and disposal systems. According to research conducted by Jambeck et al in 2015, the country ranked 11th in terms of the mass of mismanaged plastic waste by countries globally in 2010.
CSIR remote sensing specialists studied satellite imagery of South Africa’s savanna system over the period 2001 to 2018 which showed that as the climate became drier, farms were abandoned, which in
