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.
IEEE Cluster 2009. CHECS faculty members Wu Feng and Cal Ribbens are in New Orleans this week for the annual IEEE Cluster conference. Feng served as Workshops Chair for the conference, and was an invited panelists in two panel discussions. Ribbens co-organized the workshop on Parallel Programming on Accelerator Clusters (PPAC09).
NVIDIA Award. Wu Feng has received a Professor Partnership Program Award from NVIDIA. One of 38 awardees, Feng and his students are pursuing research on accelerating the performance of key biological applications on graphics processing units (GPUs).
NAE Symposium. Ali Butt has been selected to participate in the 15th annual U.S. Frontiers of Engineering symposium, sponsored by the National Academy of Engineering (NAE). The prestigious forum brings together young engineers from around the country to discuss multi-disciplinary ways to solve important problems.
