In order to advance scalability of applications, NCF and SARA have the pleasure to announce that the call for proposals for the annual Wim Nieuwpoort Award, edition 2011, is open. This award is named after the founder of the national high-performance computing infrastructure in the Netherlands, professor emeritus Wim Nieuwpoort of the University of Groningen. Wim Nieuwpoort has been chair of NCF’s Scientific Committee (WGS) and temporary director of SARA Computing and Network Services. This annual Award will be awarded to the research team, located at a Dutch university or scientific institute, which proves to be able to run a serious scientific application efficiently on a significant part of a large HPC-system. NCF’s scientific committee (WGS) will be responsible for the review of the proposals. The Wim Nieuwpoort Award consists of an amount of € 5000 and a visit to the annual supercomputing & communications conference in November 2012 in the United States, during which conference the research and scalability results can be presented in the Dutch booth.
