ISC'08 Distinguished Paper Award. Wu Feng and Jeremy Archuleta have an accepted paper, co-authored with an international team of collaborators, entitled "Distributed I/O with ParaMEDIC: Experiences with a Worldwide Supercomputer" that has been named recipient of the ISC'08 Distinguished Paper Award. The paper will be presented at the International Supercomputing Conference (ISC) in Dresden, Germany on June 15-20, 2008.
Congratulations to Ali Butt on being awarded a National Science Foundation (NSF) Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) award. The $400,000 award will support research on “A Scalable Hierarchical Framework for High-Performance Data Storage.” See this article on the CS department website for more information.
A team lead by Wu Feng was named winner of the SC07 Storage Challenge yesterday. The project, titled ParaMEDIC: Parallel Metadata Environment for Distributed I/O and Computing, also involved VT PhD student Jeremy Archuleta and collaborators Pavan Balaji (Argonne National Laboratory) and Heshan Lin (North Carolina State Univeristy). See this VT news article for more details.
Dimitris Nikolopoulos and Cal Ribbens are organizing a workshop on "Parallel Programming on Accelerator-Based Systems" (PPABS). Jose Moreira (IBM) serves as the third co-organizer of this workshop, to be held February 23 in Salt Lake City, in conjunction with the 13th ACM SIGPLAN Symposium on Principles and Practice of Parallel Programming (PPoPP'08). See the PPABS homepage for more details.
Wu Feng and Kirk Cameron and several CHECS students and postdocs are getting ready to announce the first version of a new ranking of supercomputers --- the Green500. The purpose of the Green500 List is to provide a ranking of the most energy-efficient supercomputers in the world, and hopefully, shift the focus of supercomputer design to adopt a more energy-efficient and power-efficient approach. See this VT news article for more details.
