Hi Team,

I hope you are making progress on your project.

1. You need to have started your poster by now.

2. You need to have a fork of the Student Cluster Competition Git Repo, that your whole team and mentor has access to and a feature-branch for the project you are working on.

   • If you would like my direct assistance and guidance, you can add me to this repo.

3. You need to have started preparing your competition benchmarks, i.e.:

   • You should have a repo, with at the very least a folder for each of the competition benchmarks and a README.md for each with information that you've already researched regarding building, installing, compiling and running the various benchmarks.

4. You need to breakdown and allocate the various benchmarks and tasks amongst your team mates.

5. You need to start preparing a short presentation (lightning talk)... Each of your team members (excluding mentor) needs to start thinking about which benchmarking / aspect of your cluster they are responsible for, and think of some talking points to present to the judges

If you would like to arrange a meeting with me to discuss and review your progress please let me know.

DO NOT LEAVE THINGS TO THE LAST MINUTE!!!

Do a little bit of work every week, and ensure you're consistently making progress.

Good Luck with the remainder of your exams and assignments!
