Prace Award 2010 Winners Announced

ISC has named Klaus Iglberger and Ulrich Rude, professors at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany, the winners of the 2010 Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe (PRACE) Award. PRACE offers a prize for outstanding research on petascale computing to European students and young scientists.
ISC selected the pair's paper, "Massively Parallel Granular Flow Simulations with Non-Spherical Particles," as the winning submission. "The paper proposed by Iglberger and Rude addresses successfully the issue of simulating flows of granular materials in a realistic way, that is with particles of different shapes moving in a complex environment," according to Francois Robin, a member of the ISC Award Committee. "It introduces a new algorithm for this purpose that shows an excellent scalability on a very high number of cores, making possible very large simulations that will be useful in important applications like the design of silos."
Iglberger and Rude will have an opportunity to present a keynote address on their research at the ISC'10 in Hamburg, during the Scientific Sessions on May 31.
