SIAM/ACM Prize in Computational Science and Engineering
by Snir, Marc 07 Sep '14

07 Sep '14

Please join me in congratulating the PETSc team who is the winner of the 2015 SIAM/ACM Prize in Computational Science and Engineering. * 2015 PETSc Core Development Group: Satish Balay, Jed Brown, William Gropp, Matthew Knepley, Lois Curfman McInnes, Barry Smith, and Hong Zhang "The prize, approved in 2002, is awarded by the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) and the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) in the area of computational science in recognition of outstanding contributions to the development and use of mathematical and computational tools and methods for the solution of science and engineering” Marc P.S. It seems that SIAM jumped the gun in posting this award (http://www.siam.org/prizes/sponsored/cse.php) — as it appear in the list of previous recipients and SIAM promises the next award in 2015. So, we shall take advantage of their mistake in order to celebrate twice.
