Another SCAPE first this year. SCAPE researchers have two papers at IPDPS, one of our top HPC conferences. The first paper, led by Rong Ge entitled "Power-aware Speedup" describes an analytical performance model of power-aware clusters. The second paper, led by Dr. Xizhou Feng describes the use of PBPI on the world's fastest supercomputer and is entitled "Building the Tree of Life on Terascale Systems." This work was accomplished in collaboration with Brian Smith and Carlos Sosa of IBM Rochester. IPDPS had only a 25% acceptance rate this year making these papers quite an accomplishment. Congratulations to Rong and Xizhou and keep up the excellent work.
