Gordon Bell Prize
Gordon Bell Prizes are awarded each year to recognize outstanding achievement in high-performance computing. Now administered by the ACM, financial support of the $10,000 award is provided by Gordon Bell, a pioneer in high-performance and parallel computing. The purpose of the award is to track the progress over time of parallel computing, with particular emphasis on rewarding innovation in applying high-performance computing to applications in science. The prize has been awarded every year since 1987. Prizes may be awarded for peak performance as well as special achievements in scalability, time-to-solution on important science and engineering problems, and low price/performance. More information on the Gordon Bell Prize is here.
The Seymour Cray Computer Science and Engineering Award recognizes innovative contributions to high performance computing systems that best exemplify the creative spirit of Seymour Cray. Nomination form is here.
The Sidney Fernbach Memorial Award honors innovative uses of high performance computing in problem solving. This award was established in 1992 in memory of Sidney Fernbach, one of the pioneers in the development and application of high performance computers for the solution of large computational problems. A certificate and $2,000 are awarded for innovative approaches and outstanding contributions in the application of high performance computers. Nomination form is here.
