RESEARCH PAPER AWARDS
The following awards will be given to outstanding research papers submitted to the conference:
HANS MEUER AWARD
The Hans Meuer Award honors the most outstanding research paper submitted to the conference’s Research Papers Committee. This award has been introduced in the memory of the late Dr. Hans Meuer, general chair of the ISC conference from 1986 through 2014, and co-founder of the TOP500 project.
From all submitted research papers, the Research Papers Committee will select the overall best paper for the award. The winner will be announced at the ISC High Performance Tuesday Keynote Session and will be given the opportunity to present a keynote talk on their work in one of the research paper sessions. The winner will also receive a cash prize of 5,000 Euros, an award certificate, and a free conference pass for ISC High Performance in 2019.
The two papers selected as the finalists for the Hans Meuer Award at ISC 2018 are:
- Chebyshev Filter Diagonalization on Modern Manycore Processors and GPGPUs by Moritz Kreutzer, Dominik Ernst, Alan R. Bishop, Holger Fehske, Georg Hager, Kengo Nakajima, and Gerhard Wellein
- Compiler-assisted Source-to-Source Skeletonization of Application Models for System Simulation by Jeremiah J. Wilke, Joseph P. Kenny, Samuel Knight, and Sebastien Rumley
GAUSS AWARD
The Gauss Award is sponsored by the German Gauss Center for Supercomputing, which is a collaboration of the German national supercomputing centers at Garching, Jülich and Stuttgart.
The winner will receive a cash prize of 3,000 Euros, courtesy of the Gauss Center, which will be presented by Professor Michael Resch, chairman of the Gauss Award Committee, during the ISC Opening Session. The award winner will also have the opportunity to present a keynote talk on their paper during one of the research paper sessions.
The paper selected as the winner of the Gauss Award at ISC 2018 is:
On the Accuracy and Usefulness of Analytic Energy Models for Contemporary Multicore Processors by Johannes Hofmann, Georg Hager, and Dietmar Fey
