CHECS News
CRA Undergraduate Research awards. Congratulations to Jacqueline Adessa and Gabriel Martinez for receiving honorable mention recognition in the annual CRA Undergraduate Research Award competition. Both students are supervised by Dr. Wu Feng.
CHECS at SC09. Several CHECS faculty and students participated in the just concluded SC09 conference. The latest Green500 list was released at a birds-of-a-feather session on Thursday. And congratulations to Jacqueline Addesa, who won the award for Best Undergraduate Poster, for her work "On the Efficacy of Haskell for High-Performance Computational Biology."
Green500 project expanding. The Green500 project is growing to better reflect the increased importance of power and energy issues in high-end computing. Co-founders Wu Feng and Kirk Cameron have announced that in addition to the primary TOP Green500 list, which ranks the top 500 supercomputers in the world by energy efficiency, three new lists will be used to publicize and compare various efforts in green computing. The ‘Little Green500’ list will broaden the definition of a supercomputer to include any machine used for commodity supercomputing that could have made the TOP500 within the past 18 months. The 'Open Green500' will allow supercomputers to use a combination of single-precision and double-precision to generate a sufficiently accurate double-precision result for the LINPACK benchmark. And the 'HPCC Green500' will use the High Performance Computing Challenge (HPCC) benchmark for its performance results. See the VT press release for more information.
MASCOTS 2009 best paper. Congratulations to PhD student Guanying Wang, whose paper “A Simulation Approach to Evaluating Design Decisions in MapReduce Setups” was recognized at the IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Modelling, Analysis and Simulation of Computer and Telecommunications Systems, held in September in London. Collaborators on the paper include Wang’s advisor, Dr. Ali Butt, as well as Prashant Pandey and Karan Gupta of the IBM Almaden Research Center in San Jose, California.
Journal leadership. Srinidhi Varadarajan was recently named an associate editor of ACM Transactions on Modeling and Computer Simulation (TOMACS). Layne Watson continues to serve as an associate editor of The International Journal of High Performance Computing Applications (IJHPCA).
