He previously held positions at Caltech, Syracuse University, and Florida State University after being a postdoc at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, and Peterhouse College Cambridge. He has supervised the Ph.D. of 73 students and published around 1300 papers (over 520 with at least ten citations) in physics and computing with a hindex of 78 and over 36000 citations. He is a Fellow of APS Geoffrey Charles Fox (Physics) and ACM (Computing) and works Indiana University on the interdisciplinary interface between computing and applications. Current application work is in Biology, Pathology, Sensor Clouds and Ice-sheet and Earthquake Science, and Particle Physics. His architecture research involves High-performance computing enhanced Software-Defined Big Data Systems on Clouds and Clusters with open source software Twister2. The analytics focuses on scalable parallel machine learning. He is an expert on streaming data and robot-cloud interactions and deep learning applied to geospatial time series and to improve performance and capabilities of large scale computations—called MLaroundHPC. He is involved in several projects to enhance the capabilities of Minority Serving Institutions. He has experience in online education and its use in MOOCs for areas like Data and Computational Science. 3 For outstanding breakthroughs in high performance computing, linear algebra, “and computational science and for contributions to the Julia programming language. ” ABOUT THE AWARD The Sidney Fernbach Award was established in 1992 by the Board of Governors of the IEEE Computer Society. It honors the memory of the late Dr. Sidney Fernbach, one of the pioneers in the development and application of high-performance computers for the solution of large computational problems. The award, which consists of a certificate and a $2,000 honorarium, is presented annually to an individual for “an outstanding contribution in the application of high-performance computers using innovative approaches.” PAST RECIPIENTS 2018 - Linda Petzold 2007 - David E. Keyes 2017 - Steven J. Plimpton 2006 - Edward Seidel 2016 - Vipin Kumar 2005 - John B. Bell 2015 - Alexander Szalay 2004 - Marsha J. Berger 2014 - Satoshi Matsuoka 2003 - Jack J.

Heroux, Sandia University of Science and National Laboratories Technology (Chair)* Christopher R. Johnson, Marsha J. Berger, New York University of Utah* University* *Past recipient 4 2019 IEEE COMPUTER Alan Edelman is a professor of applied mathematics and leads the Julia laboratory SOCIETY in the Computer Science & AI Laboratory at MIT. He is also chief scientist at Julia SIDNEY Computing. Edelman works on High FERNBACH Performance Computing, numerical computation, linear algebra, random AWARD matrix theory, and geometry. Edelman learned many lost lessons as a graduate student at MIT moonlighting at Thinking Machines Corporation in the 1980s where he won a Gordon Bell Prize. He grew to believe that breakthroughs in HPC could come from raising the levels of abstraction through high level languages that are built from the ground up for performance and productivity. To this day, he believes the one true goal for HPC work is user numbers. Performance, productivity, scalability, reproducibility, composability and other obvious and non- obvious metrics are subsumed by this “prime directive.” Edelman loves algorithms, Alan Edelman theorems, compilers, DSLs, and old-fashioned Massachusetts Institute performance tuning, but he feels that HPC of Technology had missed out for too long on the key intellectual ingredient that would make all the difference, language. Julia was invented to prove that HPC’s biggest challenges could be solved with language. The Julia project with Jeff Bezanson, Stefan Karpinski, Viral Shah and now thousands of contributors is the result. Still there is so much work to do. Edelman has received many prizes including the Householder Prize, the Chauvenet Prize, best paper prizes, and the Charles Babbage Prize. He is a Fellow of IEEE, AMS, and SIAM. He was tenth in the nation on the USA Math Olympiad before attending Yale University where he received his BS and MS. At MIT he received his Ph.D. advised by Nick Trefethen. He worked at UC Berkeley mentored by Jim Demmel. Edelman worked at CERFACS, has consulted for IBM, Pixar, Akamai, Intel, and Microsoft among other corporations and has cofounded Interactive Supercomputing and Julia Computing. 5 For outstanding leadership in developing GPU computing and in engendering its rise “to the mainstream of HPC. ” ABOUT THE AWARD The Seymour Cray Computer Engineering Award was established in late 1997 by the Board of Governors of the IEEE Computer Society. The award honors the memory of the late Seymour Cray, an electrical engineer and supercomputer architect. To be considered for this award, the contribution must have had a major impact on the supercomputing industry. The award consists of a crystal memento, illuminated certificate and a $10,000 honorarium awarded to recognize innovative contributions to high performance computing systems that best exemplify the creative spirit demonstrated by Seymour Cray. The award was initially endowed by Silicon Graphics, Inc., in honor of Seymour Cray. PAST RECIPIENTS 2018 - David E. Shaw 2008 - Steve Wallach 2016 - William J. Camp 2007 - Kenneth E.

  • Computational Database Systems for Massive Scientific Datasets
    Computational Database Systems for Massive Scientific Datasets David O’Hallaron, Anastassia Ailamaki, and Gregory Ganger Carnegie Mellon University Pittsburgh, PA 15213 (This page will not be included in the submitted version) March 1, 2004 Proposal submitted to the National Science Foundation Directorate for Computer and Information Sciences and Engineering, SEIII Program Announcement (NSF 04-528), Division of Information and Intelligent Systems (IIS), Science and Engineering Informatics Cluster, -1 Part A Project Summary We propose to push the frontiers of scientists’ ability to explore and understand massive scientific datasets by devel- oping a new approach called computational database systems. The idea is to integrate scientific datasets stored as spatial databases with specialized, tightly-coupled, and highly-optimized functions that query and manipulate these databases. Doing so will simultaneously simplify domain-specific programming (since datasets are now in a form that can be queried generally) and greatly increase the scale of problems that can be studied efficiently (since the complete dataset no longer needs to fit into memory). Many scientific problems are constrained by the complexity of manipulating massive datasets. Recently, for example, a group of us at Carnegie Mellon received the Gordon Bell Prize for producing and simulating the largest unstructured finite element model ever. The model simulates ground motion during an earthquake in the Los Angeles basin across a mesh with over 1B nodes and elements. Although exciting, this achievement came with some painful lessons about the shortcomings of our current capabilities of dealing with massive datasets. In particular, the dataset that we generated for the Gordon Bell Prize has limited scientific value because it is too large to be queried and explored effectively, requiring heroic efforts just to extract a few waveforms for publication.
