Oct. 14, 2024 — The 2024 Gordon Bell Prize (GBP) attracted a number of outstanding submissions, representing the accomplishments of teams from around the world, from which the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) GBP Award Committee selected six finalists. Chester Gordon Bell (pictured above) is the namesake of the prestigious award that honors outstanding achievements in HPC each year.

The Gordon Bell Prize emphasizes innovation in applying HPC to applications in science, engineering, and large-scale data analytics, typically demonstrated using state-of-the-art technologies and the leading supercomputing platforms.

The award may take into account the importance of the problem tackled, and the likely impact of the methods and optimizations introduced. It may make an award based on peak performance, or special achievements in scalability and time-to-solution on important science and engineering problems.

“With its focus on the innovative use of HPC to achieve important scientific results, the Gordon Bell Prize rewards outstanding accomplishments in computational science,” Barbara Chapman, Chair of the ACM Gordon Bell Prize committee, said. “By disseminating new algorithms, computational techniques, and programming methodologies, it also helps shape this field. It is an enormous privilege to participate in the selection of the winner, and indeed of all the finalists, since each of them has made an extraordinary contribution to science.”
