Supercomputing 2014 (SC14), the international conference for high performance computing, networking, storage and analysis, celebrated the contributions of researchers, from those just starting their careers to those whose contributions have made lasting impacts, in a special awards session.

The conference drew over 10,160 registered attendees who attended a technical program spanning six days and viewed the offerings of 356 exhibitors in the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, Louisiana (USA).

The following awards were presented at the conference:

SCinet, the undisputed fastest computer network in the world, is now live! Beginning Sunday, November 16, the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center became home to the fastest and most innovative computer network, delivering more than 1.3 trillion bits per second (terabits per second!) of network bandwidth to the Supercomputing Conference (SC14) from around the world.

#HPC helps to save lives!

The fourth video in the #HPCMatters five-video campaign has been released. HPC is helping meteorologists to make more accurate weather predictions as well as to more rapidly warn people of dangerous and dynamic conditions including tornadoes and hurricanes - saving money and lives.  Click here for the video.

Many thanks to NOAA for their support in making this video.

#HPC helps to create heroes!

The third video in the #HPCMatters five-video campaign has been released. #HPC is helping artists to develop and realize more rich life-like animation environments like those seen in Disney's Frozen, Tangled and its latest release Big Hero 6.  Click here for the video.

SC14 has posted two #HPCMatters videos in a five-video campaign.

This first video shares the ways supercomputers are helping scientists to understand climate change, and develop solutions to mitigate its effects. The second video reveals how high performance computing (HPC) is helping us to improve our everyday lives to create better, more efficient, more cost effective products and services, from toothpaste to diapers to dish soap.

Faculty members who plan to attend the SC14 conference will have access to two dedicated rooms for remotely teaching their courses. The two facilities are rooms 256 and 257 in the convention center in New Orleans. The rooms will be available from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 18 through Thursday, Nov. 20 (Central Standard Time).
