Nominations Now Open for 2019 Outstanding Dissertation Award
SIGHPC's Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation Award is given each year for the best doctoral dissertation completed in high performance computing (HPC). This award is open to students studying anywhere in the world who have completed a PhD dissertation with HPC as a central research theme. The winner is recognized with a $2,000 cash prize, a plaque, and travel support to SC.
Inaugural Dissertation Award Winner
SIGHPC has announced the inaugural winner of its Outstanding Dissertation Award. Dhairya Malhotra, for his dissertation "Fast Integral Equation Solver for Variable Coefficient Elliptic PDEs in Complex Geometries." Malhotra is recognized for his contributions in algorithm design, analysis, implementation, and performance optimization for N-body problems, in particular the fast multipole method (FMM), and its application to simulation of complex fluids. Malhotra graduated from UT Austin.
The committee also recognized the accomplishments of Honorable Mention Bilge Acun for her dissertation, “Mitigating Variability in HPC Systems and Application for Performance and Power Efficiency." Acun, who graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champain, now works at IBM's TJ Watson Research Center.
Congratulations 2018 Computing4Change Competitors
We are excited to announce the 16 undergraduates chosen to compete in the inaugural Computing4Change competition. Co-located with the SC18 conference in Dallas, TX, Computing4Change introduces students to the potential of computing to create positive change in our society. Students learn to work as part of a team, applying data analysis and computational thinking to a social challenge while experiencing the latest tools and techniques from computing and data science. Check out the full details.
