Marcin Copik competed in the graduate category of the ACM student research competition with a submission titled "perf-taint: Taint Analysis for Automatic Many-Parameter Performance Modeling". For his outstanding performance, he was awarded the gold medal. Marcin is a doctoral student in Professor Torsten Hoefler's Scalable Parallel Computing Lab.
The ACM Student Research Competition (SRC) offers a unique forum for undergraduate and graduate students to present their original research at well-known ACM sponsored and co-sponsored conferences before a panel of judges and attendees. The SRC is a joint venture of ACM and Microsoft.
Grzegorz Kwasniewski and the team involving the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS) won the SC Best Student Paper Award at the main conference. His submission is titled "Red-Blue Pebbling Revisited: Near Optimal Parallel Matrix Multiplication", a joint effort with Marko Kabic, Maciej Besta, Raffaele Solca, Joost VandeVondele and Torsten Hoefler. Grzegorz is a doctoral student in Professor Torsten Hoefler's Scalable Parallel Computing Lab.
