Award of Excellence for ITEA3 H4H Project
At the ITEA Event 2016 on 28 April in Stockholm, the ITEA Board Support Group presented three ITEA Awards of Excellence. These awards recognized high-level technical contributions based on true European collaboration that provide significant results and promote the ITEA programme and its goals. As one of these three projects, H4H received the Award of Excellence in the category "Business impact". The objective of H4H was to provide compute-intensive application developers with a highly efficient hybrid programming environment for heterogeneous computing clusters composed of a mix of classical processors and hardware accelerators. JSC contributed its experience in parallel program optimization and the well-established Score-P/Scalasca toolset for parallel program measurement and analysis to the project, which was funded from 2010 to 2015. JSC's participation in ITEA projects is a real success story: the predecessor project ParMA also received an ITEA Achievement Award in Gold in 2010. More information on the awards and the projects recognized can be found at https://itea3.org/itea-event-2016/awards-of-excellence.html.
