ICMMES Awards

There are at least three awards given out at ICMMES Conference each year since 2016:

  • The ICMMES Award for Young Scientists, a supercomputing company in China;
  • The ICMMES Award for Recent PhD Recipients,

The awards are aiming at supporting young scientists working in the ICMMES' focused areas. The winners are selected by a selection committee appointed by the ICMMES Scientific Committee and the local organizing committee. The awards are to be presented by one of Co-Chairs of the ICMMES scientific committee, and the Chair of the ICMMES local organizing committee, at the end of each ICMMES Conference.

The ICMMES Award for the Best GPU-Related Presentation by Students and Post-Docs

The PNY Award for the Best Presentation on GPU Computing and Applications will be given to a student or post-doctoral researcher (up to 2 years after PhD degree). All students and post-doctral researchers who give presentations on GPU computing and applications are qualified to be a winner. The winner will be selected during the ICMMES Conference and will be annouced and presented during the Conference's Closing Ceremory. A selection committee appointed by ICMMES Scientific Committee will be responsible for deciding the winner. The winner will receive a recent NVIDIA high-performance GPU to support his/her research.

 

Award winners

2016 : Dennis Mierke, Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH), Germany, "Efficient Calculation of Sub-grid Distances for Higher-Order Boundary Conditions".
