The Second IEEE International Scalable Computing Challenge (SCALE 2009) (Sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Scalable Computing (TCSC)).
 

The purpose of the TCSC Newsletter is to complement TCSC weekly digest and to provide a more detailed and dated information on network-based scalable computing systems, especially clusters, grids, and clouds; and their applications in a timely manner. Also, we will accept short articles written by TCSC members. The plan is to initially "publish" two issues a year. For the 2006 year, the two issues will be "published" on-line in April and November month.

The IEEE Technical committee on Scalable Computing (TCSC) is happy to announce that the 2009 IEEE Medal for Excellence in Scalable Computing has been awarded to Professor Rajkumar Buyya for pioneering the economic paradigm for utility-oriented distributed computing platforms such as Grids and Clouds, and serving with distinction the scalable computing community as the foundation Chair of the Technical Committee on Scalable Computing.

Call for Proposals: Second IEEE International Scalable Computing Challenge
                                (SCALE 2009) at CCGrid 2009

*Modified Deadline: 27 Feb
*Notification: 13 March

The Second IEEE International Scalable Computing Challenge (SCALE 2009) (Sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Scalable Computing (TCSC)).
 

The IEEE TCSC Medal for Excellence in Scalable Computing is awarded for significant and sustained contributions to the scalable computing community through the IEEE Technical Committee on Scalable Computing (TCSC), coupled with an outstanding record of high quality and high impact research. The award consists of a medal and an honorarium of $1000. The 2008 TCSC medal of excellence was awarded at the CCGrid 2008 conference to Professor Jack Dongarra (see http://www.ieeetcsc.org/awards/tcsc-medal2008.html).

  In conjunction with the 10th IEEE International Symposium on Cluster, Cloud, and Grid Computing (CCGrid 2010), May 17-20 2010, in Melbourne, Australia

In conjunction with IEEE Cluster/Grid 2008
in Tsukuba, Japan, Sep 29 to Oct 1, 2008

** Category BS: basic category

The challengers compete in the total time to find all supernova candidates. There is no restriction on programming language and distributed computing middleware. Any failure during the execution is not assumed in this category.

Winner is Ibis Stargazers from Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam. Congratulation!

The IEEE Technical Committee on Scalable Computing (TCSC) is happy to announce that the IEEE Medal for Excellence in Scalable Computing has been awarded to Professor Jack Dongarra.
 

As the Technical Committee on Scalable Computing (TCSC) has already emerged as one of the most successful TCs within the IEEE Computer Society, it is important to maintain that leadership and at the same time create new innovative programs to further enhance for the benefit of its members and the overall community.
