Every year, the SC conference presents a wide range of awards and prizes that recognize the innovative work of conference participants and leaders in the field. The conference itself gives awards for Best Paper, Best Student Paper and Best Poster. Candidate presentations for these awards are noted in the appropriate sections of the conference program.
In addition, SC serves as the venue for presenting the Gordon Bell Prizes, which reward practical uses of high-performance computers, including best performance of an application and best achievement in cost-performance. Additionally, two special awards are presented by the Institute for Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) to recognize longtime innovators in high-performance computing the Seymour Cray Computer Engineering Award and the Sidney Fernbach Award. Recipients of these two awards are announced at the SC conference and invited to give a presentation.
Awards will also be presented to the top competitors in three challenges sponsored by the conference: HPC Analytics, StorCloud and the HPC Bandwidth Challenge. More information on these challenges can be found in the Initiatives/Challenges section of the conference program.
