Today ISC 2017 announced the finalists for the Hans Meuer Award. Introduced in memory of the late Dr. Hans Meuer of TOP500 fame, the award recognizes the most outstanding research paper submitted to the conference’s Research Papers Committee. 

Finalists:

  • An Overview of MPI Characteristics of Exascale Proxy Applications” by Benjamin Klenk and Prof. Holger Froening of Ruprecht-Karls University Heidelberg. The paper discusses a number of MPI characteristic including time spent in certain operations, point-to-point versus collective communication, message sizes and rates, and how applications use MPI to exploit node-level parallelism.
  • Designing Dynamic and Adaptive MPI Point-to-Point Communication Protocols for Efficient Overlap of Computation and Communication” by Dr. Hari Subromoni, Sourav Chakraborty and Prof. Dhabaleswar Panda from The Ohio State University. In this paper, they propose an adaptive protocol design that dynamically optimizes the communication behavior of the application at runtime.

Both teams will present their papers at the research paper award session on Monday, June 19 to the general audience and a small committee that will decide the winning paper. The winner will be announced and awarded the following day in conjunction with the Tuesday keynote.
