Friends of BLIS,
(Cross-posted to blis-discuss. Please forgive the duplicate messages.)
I'm pleased to share some exciting news: the paper that we internally refer to as the second BLIS paper,
"The BLIS Framework: Experiments in Portability." Field G. Van
Zee, Tyler Smith, Bryan Marker, Tze Meng Low, Robert A. van de
Geijn, Francisco Igual, Mikhail Smelyanskiy, Xianyi Zhang, Michael
Kistler, Vernon Austel, John A. Gunnels, Lee Killough. ACM
Transactions on Mathematical Software (TOMS), 42(2):12:1--12:19,
2016.
was selected for the SIAM
Activity Group on Supercomputing Best Paper Prize for 2020.
The prize is awarded once every two years to a paper judged to be
the most outstanding paper in the field of parallel scientific and
engineering computing, and has only been awarded once before (in
2016) since its inception in 2015 (the committee did not award the
prize in 2018). The prize will be awarded at the SIAM
Conference on Parallel Processing for Scientific Computing
in Seattle next February. Robert will be present at the conference
to accept the prize and give a talk on BLIS.
