IEEE Medal for Excellence in Scalable Computing Awarded to Jack Dongarra

May 9 -- The IEEE Technical committee on Scalable Computing (TCSC) is happy to announce that the IEEE Medal for Excellence in Scalable Computing has been awarded to Professor Jack Dongarra.

Professor Dongarra is University Distinguished Professor of Computer Science in the Computer Science Department at the University of Tennessee and holds the title of Distinguished Research Staff in the Computer Science and Mathematics Division at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), Turning Fellow at Manchester University, and an Adjunct Professor in the Computer Science Department at Rice University. He is the director of the Innovative Computing Laboratory at the University of Tennessee. He is also the director of the Center for Information Technology Research at the University of Tennessee which coordinates and facilitates IT research efforts at the University.

Professor Dongarra's contributions have been fundamental to establishing the scalable computing community. He has broad and significant technical contributions through his research, publications and software systems, which range from BLAS/Linpack/Lapack to PVM/MPI and Netsolve as well as the TOP500 list, many of which have become industry standards. He has also been instrumentals in establishing key activities, including conferences and workshops, in the broader area of scalable computing.

The IEEE Medal for Excellence in Scalable Computing was established in 2008 by TCSC to recognize significant contributions to the scalable computing community through TCSC and/or its activities, coupled with an outstanding record of high quality and high impact research. Details of award can be found at http://www.ieeetcsc.org/awards/ieee-medal.html. The award includes a medal and a honorarium of $1000. As part of the award, Professor Dongarra will present the opening keynote at the CCGrid Conference, May 19-23, in Lyon, France (http://www.ens-lyon.fr/LIP/RESO/ccgrid2008/).

Cray Unveils New Cooling Technology For the Petascale Era

Cray, known for its power and packaging prowess since 1976, when Seymour Cray bent the Cray-1 into a "C" shape, is unveiling a petascale-era cooling technology it says is more than 10 times as efficient as same-size water coils. Cray CTO Steve Scott discusses this innovation and the company that was green before green was cool.

HPC Simulations Help Researchers Develop Artificial Sniffer Technology

From law enforcement to cancer detection, the uncanny ability of dogs to sniff out the earliest signs of danger and disease is receiving ever-increasing attention by researchers. Despite tremendous advances in law enforcement technology, there is still no man-made tool that can detect the presence of explosives quite like a canine's sophisticated sniffing system.
