ISC AWARD


Sponsored by AMD
This year we are delighted to present the ISC Award, created out of the initiative of our main sponsor AMD, to expand our program by providing an invaluable insight for conference attendees. A call for papers was issued in the following three HPC areas and a high calibre of papers from innovative supercomputing researchers was received by the Award Committee, chaired by Michael Resch of HLRS, Germany.
  1. Requirements for HPC Systems Software
  2. Innovative Supercomputer Architectures
  3. Integrated Data and Information Management
The winner(s) of each category have now been selected by our Award Committee and will each be awarded an AMD two-way rack m ountable system, fully configured as a building block for a cluster, with state-of-the-art technology, during the award ceremony in Heidelberg's glorious Castle event on Thursday June 24th from 8pm. Each winner(s) will present their paper during the Conference's technical program.

Innovative Supercomputing Architectures
This category required specifically a paper which analysed the successful application of innovative supercomputing architectures and was won by Wu-chun Feng and Chung-hsing Hsu from the Los Alamos National Laboratory with their paper entitled 'Green Destiny and its Evolving Parts'.

Requirements for HPC Systems Software
Specifically contributions to parallel file systems and operating systems for HPC, a paper entitled 'Extending the MPI Specification for Process Fault Tolerance on HPC Systems' was the winner of this category. The winning authors of the paper were Graham E. Fagg, Edgar Gabriel, George Bosilca, Thara Angskun, Zhizhong Chen, Jelena Pjesivac-Grbovic, Kevin London and Jack J. Dongarra of the Innovative Computing Laboratory, Department of Computer Science, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, USA.

Integrated Data and Information Management
The winning authors of this category were from a range of institutions including the University of Manchester and University College London. They are S.M. Pickles, R.J. Blake, B.M. Boghosian, J.M. Brooke, J. Chin, P.E.L. Clarke, P.V. Coveney, R. Haines, J. Harting, M. Harvey, S. Jha, M.A.S. Jones, M. McKeown, R.L. Pinning, A.R. Porter, K. Roy and M. Riding with a paper entitled 'The TeraGyroid Experiment'.

Congratulations to all of our winners and we look forward to the presentation of the winning papers and of course the award ceremony!
