SC2002 Gordon Bell Award for Language

We won the Gordon Bell award for language at SC2002 (in Baltimore, Maryland, USA on Nov. 16-22, 2002) at the achievement of the Earth Simulator Project "Performance Evaluation of Large-scale Parallel Simulation Codes and Designing New Language Features on the HPF (High Performance Fortran) Data-Parallel Programming Environment".

• Awarded Paper:

• Abstract:
  We parallelized a three-dimensional fluid simulation code with HPF/ES and achieved the performance of 14.9 Tflops in the execution on the Earth Simulator. This results shows that HPF is effective for programming such large parallel machines as the Earth Simulator.
