ACM has named Keshav Pingali of the University of Texas at Austin as the recipient of the 2023 ACM-IEEE CS Ken Kennedy Award, which recognizes groundbreaking achievements in parallel and high-performance computing.
Pingali, the W.A. "Tex" Moncrief Chair of Grid and Distributed Computing, is cited for contributions to high-performance parallel computing for irregular algorithms such as graph algorithms. He is also cited for leadership on the Galois Project, which provides a unifying framework for parallelizing both irregular and regular algorithms.
The Ken Kennedy award recognizes Pingali's "operator formulation of algorithms," which is a programming and execution model that is remarkably simple yet powerful enough to capture patterns of parallelism in both regular and irregular algorithms. The Galois system implements this model. In addition, Pingali is being recognized for his distinguished mentoring of computer science leaders and students during his career.
