Computing Pioneer Gordon Bell to Share Insights at SC17 – Marking 30 Years of the ACM Gordon Bell Prize
Everyone knows that computers have grown exponentially faster and more powerful. But only a few know exactly why and how – and Gordon Bell has been a sage among them since the 1960s as the former head of R and D at Digital Equipment Corp (DEC), establishing the minicomputer industry with the PDP and Vax […]
2017 ACM SIGHPC/Intel Computational and Data Science Fellowship Winners Announced
Twelve world-class students from under-represented groups in computing selected for fellowship supporting advanced study in computing ACM’s Special Interest Group on High Performance Computing (SIGHPC), in collaboration with Intel, today announced the 12 recipients of the ACM SIGHPC/Intel Computational and Data Science Fellowships for 2017.

SC16 Invited Talk Spotlight: Dr. Tamara G. Kolda Presents “Parallel Multiway Methods for Compression of Massive Data and Other Applications”
Short Introduction: Scientists are drowning in data. The scientific data produced by high-fidelity simulations and high-precision experiments are far too massive to store long term. The unwieldy nature of the data makes it difficult to analyze or to retain for future analysis or comparison. Data compression is a necessity, but there are surprisingly few options […]
SC15 Paper Highlighted in Effort to Raise HPC Research Integrity to Serve as Basis for SC16 SCC Reproducibility Application Challenge
Authors of a paper judged at SC15 in Austin, Texas, have transformed a portion of their experiment into an application challenge for the SC16 Student Cluster Competition (SCC) as part of a larger effort to raise the bar for experimental research in computing. SC is responding to the growing need for scientific repeatability, replicability and […]
ACM Gordon Bell Prize Recognizes Top Accomplishments in Running Science Apps on HPC
For the first time, SC conference releases a comprehensive list of all Gordon Bell winners since 1987. Here is that historical perspective. Each year at SC, two key indicators of HPC performance are highlighted. Both were created to provide a more accurate measure of overall performance than the theoretical peak performance levels sometimes touted by […]
