Congratulations to ANU Computing researchers led by Associate Professor Giuseppe Barca and PhD students Ryan Stocks, Jorge Vallejo, Fiona Yu, Calum Snowdon, Elise Palethorpe, with collaborators Jakub Kurzak (Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.) and Dmytro Bykov (Oakridge National Laboratory)!
ACM named an eight-member team drawn from Australian and American institutions as the winner of the 2024 ACM Gordon Bell Prize for the project, “Breaking the Million-Electron and 1 EFLOP/s Barriers: Biomolecular-Scale Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics Using MP2 Potentials.” Details at https://awards.acm.org/bell.
This is the second time ANU researchers have won the Gordon Bell Prize: in 2000 Bob Edwards and collaborators Jon Baxter and Doug Aberdeen won for price/performance with “92 cents/Mflops Ultra-Large Scale Neural-Network Training on a PIII Cluster.”
