The Rosie Supercomputer Super Challenge
Are you up to the challenge?
You’ve seen Rosie, now it’s time to demonstrate your skills in using MSOE’s supercomputer!
MSOE Regent and alumnus Dr. Dwight Diercks is challenging MSOE students to make use of Rosie. If you’re taking your course work to the next level, developing a side project or completing something else notable using Rosie, this is for you! First-time Rosie users are encouraged to enter as well. Create a poster, short paper, or short video presentation on what you did and how you used Rosie.
- What problem did you solve using Rosie?
- Is there a solution you’ve developed with Rosie to improve a process, or answer to a difficult question?
The opportunities are endless! Share your best work for a chance to win amazing prizes. Open to any MSOE student or team of MSOE students.
About Rosie and the Rosie Challenge
Unique to MSOE, the supercomputer is available to undergraduate students, offering them the ability to apply their learning in a hands-on environment to prepare for their careers.

The name of this number-crunching behemoth was inspired by the women who programmed one of the earliest computers – the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer (ENIAC) and captured in the documentary “Top Secret Rosies – The Female Computers of WWII.”

With its B.S. in Computer Science degree focused on artificial intelligence and the supercomputer, as well its AI for Emerging Applications undergraduate certificate and Machine Learning graduate certificate, MSOE is forging new frontiers in AI education.
