Charles E. Leiserson2014 ACM/IEEE Computer Society Ken Kennedy Award

Charles E. Leiserson received a B.S. from Yale University and a Ph.D. from Carnegie Mellon University. He is a Professor of Computer Science and Engineering in MIT’s Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and head of the

Supertech research group in MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory.

Leiserson’s research centers on the theory of parallel computing, especially as it relates to engineering reality. He coauthored the first paper on systolic architectures, invented the retiming method of digital-circuit optimization, and introduced the notion of cache-oblivious algorithms. At Thinking Machines, he designed and led the implementation of the network architecture for the Connection Machine Model CM-5 Supercomputer. As director of system architecture at Akamai, he led the engineering team that developed a worldwide content-distribution network. His Cilk multithreaded

programming system featured the first provably efficient work-stealing scheduler.

Leiserson has made numerous contributions to computer science education as well. He is perhaps best known as coauthor of the textbook, Introduction to Algorithms (MIT Press), currently in its third edition and one of the most cited publications in all of computer science. For many years, Leiserson headed the computer science program for the Singapore-MIT Alliance, one of the first distance-education collaborations. His annual workshop, “Leadership Skills for Engineering and Science Faculty,” has enriched hundreds of faculty at MIT and around the world. He was the founding workshop chair for MIT’s Undergraduate Practice Opportunities Program (UPOP), which teaches sophomores how to leverage their technical skills in professional environments. Leiserson is a Margaret MacVicar Faculty Fellow at MIT, an ACM Fellow, an AAAS Fellow, and a senior member of IEEE and SIAM. He was the 2014 IEEE Computer Society Taylor L. Booth Education Award recipient and co-recipient of the 2013 ACM Paris Kanellakis Theory and Practice Award.

“For enduring influence on parallel computing systems and their adoption into mainstream use through scholarly research and development and for distinguished mentoring of computer science leaders and students.”

The 2014 IEEE Computer Society Sidney Fernbach Award

The Sidney Fernbach AwardThe 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.”

Satoshi Matsuoka2014 IEEE Computer Society Sidney Fernbach Award

Satoshi Matsuoka has been a Full Professor at the Global Scientific Information and Computing Center (GSIC), a Japanese national supercomputing center hosted by the Tokyo Institute of Technology, since 2001. He received his Ph. D. from the

University of Tokyo in 1993.

He is the leader of the TSUBAME series of supercomputers, including TSUBAME2.0 which was the first supercomputer in Japan to exceed Petaflop performance and became the 4th fastest in the world on the Top500 in Nov. 2010, as well as the recent TSUBAME-KFC becoming #1 in the world for power efficiency for both the Green 500 and Green Graph 500 lists in Nov. 2013.

He is also currently leading several major supercomputing research projects, such as the MEXT Green Supercomputing, JSPS Billion-Scale Supercomputer Resilience, as well as the JST-CREST Extreme

Big Data. He has written over 500 articles according to Google Scholar, and chaired many ACM/IEEE conferences, including the Technical Paper Chair at SC (Supercomputing) ‘09, the Community Program Chair at SC’11, and the overall Technical Program Chair at SC’13. He is a Fellow of the ACM and European ISC, and has won many awards, including the JSPS Prize from the Japan Society for Promotion of Science in 2006, awarded by his Highness Prince Akishino, the ACM Gordon Bell Prize in 2011, and the Commendation for Science and Technology by the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology in 2012.

“For work on software systems for high-performance computing on advanced infrastructural platforms, large-scale supercomputers, and heterogeneous GPU/CPU supercomputers.”

The 2014 IEEE Computer Society Seymour Cray Computer Engineering Award

The Seymour Cray Computer Engineering AwardThe 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. The award is presented annually to an individual for “an outstanding contribution in the application of high performance computers using innovative approaches.” 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 endowed by Silicon Graphics, Inc., in honor of Seymour Cray.
