ACM is recognizing an international team of researchers with the 2018 Software System Award for Project Jupyter, led by Fernando Perez at the University of California, Berkeley, which yielded a tool for sharing and improving computer code, documents, and data visualizations.
Jupyter evolved out of IPython, an interactive add-on to the Python programming language that Perez created in 2001.
More than 2 million Jupyter Notebooks are currently hosted on GitHub, covering technical documentation, course materials, books, and academic publications. In addition, Jupyter Notebooks are employed by major technology companies such as Microsoft, Google, and IBM, which have created related hosted services.
Jupyter also played a role in the research that discovered gravitational waves, as the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Observatory (LIGO) publishes Jupyter Notebooks so anyone can reproduce their original analyses of the mechanics underlying these ripples in spacetime.
Perez notes Project Jupyter continues to develop tools for "human-computer interplay for scientific exploration and data analysis."
