Abstract

The Gordon Bell Prize recognizes significant achievements in the application of supercomputers to scientific and engineering problems. In this special session the winners of the 1990 prize give presentations about their winning entries in the competition. The price/performance award involved the computation of the electronic structure of a high-temperature superconductor on a 128-node Intel iPSC/860 at a price/performance of over 0.8 Gflops/$1 million. The compiler speedup winners used a Fortran 77 to Fortran 90 conversion package to parallelize a grid generation program used to solve partial differential equation. They achieved a speed-up of 1900 and ran at over 1.5 Gflops on a Connections Machine with 2048 floating point processors.
