Gordon
Bell Award Winners
Bandwidth
Challenge Winners
SC2002
offers a wide range of awards that recognize the innovative
hard work of conference participants. Rules associated
with each award, including honorarium amounts, are
outlined below.
The
Gordon Bell Awards were established to reward
practical use of parallel processors and are given
for the best performance in an application. This award
is made in several categories relating to hardware
and software advancement. All submissions for Gordon
Bell Awards will be made through the SC2002 Technical
Papers process and will be simultaneously considered
for acceptance in the conference and for the Gordon
Bell Awards. Rules associated with the Gordon Bell
Awards will be available through this Web site. $5000
will be divided by decision of the Awards Committee
among the winners.
Committee Chair: Thomas Sterling
Committee members: Bill Gropp, David Keyes, David
Bailey and James Demmel

The
High-performance Bandwidth Challenge was established
in 2000 to encourage use of the SCinet infrastructure
for exciting demonstrations during the SC Conference.
Winner(s) will receive cash awards from Qwest.
High Performance Bandwidth Challenge Chairs: Greg
Goddard, University of Florida, ggoddard@ufl.edu
Deadline for applications: July 12, 2002

The
Seymour Cray Computer Science and Engineering Award
was established in 1997. A crystal memento, illuminated
certificate, and $10,000 honorarium are awarded to
recognize innovative contributions to high performance
computing systems that best exemplify the creative
spirit demonstrated by Seymour Cray.
Committee Chair: John Riganati
Deadline for submissions: July 31, 2002

The
Sidney Fernbach Memorial Award was established
in 1992 in memory of Sidney Fernbach, one of the pioneers
in the development and application of high performance
computers for the solution of large computational
problems. A certificate and $2,000 are awarded for
outstanding contributions in the application of high
performance computers using innovative approaches.
Committee: Chair: Jack Dongarra, dongarra@cs.utk.edu
Committee members: Al Brenner, David Bailey, Charbel
Farhat, Mike Norman
Deadline for submissions: July 31, 2002

In addition, the SC2002 Conference Committee will
select several outstanding award winners during the
conference.
Special
recognition will be given for:
Best
technical paper (includes a $1,000 honorarium)
Best student technical paper (includes a $500
honorarium)
Best research poster (includes a $250 honorarium)
Committee:
members of the SC2002 Technical Program Committee
Deadline: papers selected from the conference submissions.
The
HPC Challenge Awards will honor participants in
three categories for innovative uses of high performance
computing resources. This will provide opportunities
for contestants to showcase important applications
and platforms. The categories are as follows:
Most
Innovative Data-Intensive Application: As processor
power increases and sensor networks become ubiquitous,
it is increasingly information and its location that
is important. The award will be presented to the entry
that is most innovative with respect to data mining,
visualization, or combinations thereof. Examples of
such projects would include multidisciplinary teams
to mine, visualize, and interpret data.
Most
Geographically Distributed Application: The Grid
has made it possible to link computers around the
world to solve computationally-intense problems, leveraging
the strengths of different architectures in a simple
application. The award will be presented to the team
with the most geographically distributed application
that solves a nontrivial problem.
Most
Heterogeneous Set of Platforms: Similar to above,
we pose a challenge to combine the most diverse set
of architectures to solve a single, nontrivial application.
There
are three award levels: Platinum ($1500 honorarium),
Gold ($1000), and Silver ($500).
Contestants
will demonstrate their entries in front of an audience
on Wednesday. Judges will make decisions on Wednesday
afternoon, and awards will be presented at the Awards
Session on Thursday.
Entries
should contain the names and contact information for
all participants, an abstract describing the challenge,
and any special requirements for high performance
computing resources, data storage or demonstrating
the technology.

more information and a submission form, please see:
Deadline
for submissions is September 1, 2002
