PRACE Award 2010: Call for Papers has Started

PRACE will award a prize to the best scientific paper by a European student or young scientist in one of the following areas:

• Algorithms or implementations that can expose scalability on many thousands of processors
• A breakthrough in science achieved with massively parallel high performance or hybrid computing resources
• Novel approaches to evaluate the performance of applications on massively parallel or hybrid architectures
  

The winner chosen by the ISC Award Committee will receive a PRACE sponsorship for the participation in a training event or a conference relevant to petascale computing.
The author of the PRACE Award winning paper will have the opportunity to give a keynote talk on the work during the ISC’10 Scientific Sessions on Monday, May 31, 2010.
Full papers of not more than eight pages should be submitted to submit.paper@supercomp.de by January 11, 2010. Papers are accepted only in pdf format, and the language has to be English.
Please indicate in your accompanying email the name and address of the corresponding author and the topic area (also please mention that you wish for your paper to be considered for the PRACE Award).
