George Michael Memorial Fellowship for Marcin Copik
For his exceptional work, Marcin Copik, doctoral student at the Scalable Parallel Computing Laboratory, has been awarded an ACM-IEEE CS George Michael Memorial HPC Fellowship. Congratulations!
Marcin Copik, doctoral student at the Department of Computer Science under the supervision of Professor Hoefler, has just been awarded the prestigious ACM-IEEE CS George Michael Memorial HPC Fellowship. He is recognised for incorporating the Function-as-a-Service programming model into HPC applications and bringing high-performance into serverless to cut costs and increase efficiency of supercomputing.
In his research, Marcin Copik's goal is to develop high-performance solutions for the new cloud paradigm of Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) computing. The serverless revolution brings new elastic and flexible resource allocation techniques, and combined with a high-performance programming model, it will open new opportunities to increase resource utilisation and decrease monetary and environmental costs in data centers of all sizes.
The ACM IEEE-CS George Michael Memorial Fellowship honours exceptional doctoral students throughout the world whose research focus areas are in high-performance computing, networking, storage, and large-scale data analysis. The Fellowships are awarded each year.
