Dr. Matsuoka is being acknowledged for “long-term international management in supercomputing system design, resembling TSUBAME and Fugaku.”
The Seymour Cray Laptop Engineering award is among the IEEE Laptop Society’s highest awards and is offered in recognition of revolutionary contributions to high-performance computing methods that greatest exemplify the artistic spirit demonstrated by Seymour Cray. The award consists of a crystal memento, a certificates, and a $10,000 honorarium.
Jack Dongarra, 2020 Girls of ENAIC Laptop Pioneer Award and winner of the 2021 Turing Award, famous that “Satoshi Matsuoka has made vital technical contributions to HPC and has contributed to almost each modern Japanese supercomputer for the final 20 years. The dedication of Satoshi Matsuoka to advancing the scientific computing discipline is soundly established in his analysis, positions, and publications, in addition to the contributions he has made in service to the scientific group.”
Most of the technological foundation of recent exascale supercomputers and enormous AI clusters within the Cloud has origins within the R&D that Matsuoka had carried out through the years. For technical parts resembling commodity scaling, grid/cloud resilience, inexperienced/low energy, large massive information, in addition to massive scale AI coaching, Matsuoka has led primary analysis tasks that tackled the problems with revolutionary options, as evidenced by quite a few publications on the problems in high conferences and journals. He went on to design and assemble experimental manufacturing machines to discipline take a look at the outcomes on actual purposes, and primarily based on the outcomes, would design a number of leadership-class supercomputers such because the TSUBAME collection of supercomputers. These supercomputers would excel within the rankings and change into a ‘template’ structure for ensuing machines to copy.
Since April 2018, Matsuoka has been the director of the RIKEN Middle for Computational Science (R-CCS), the top-tier nationwide HPC middle for Japan, creating and internet hosting Japan’s flagship ‘Fugaku’ supercomputer which has change into the quickest supercomputer on this planet in all 4 main supercomputer rankings in 2020 and 2021 (Top500, HPCG, HPL-AI, Graph500), together with multitudes of ongoing innovative HPC analysis being carried out, together with investigating Put up-Moore period computing.
He has been a Specifically Appointed Professor at Tokyo Institute of Expertise since 2018 alongside together with his directorship at R-CCS. He was the chief of the TSUBAME collection of supercomputers that had additionally acquired many worldwide acclaims, on the Tokyo Institute of Expertise, the place he nonetheless holds a professor place, to proceed his analysis actions in HPC in addition to scalable Massive Knowledge and AI, in each establishments.
His commendations embrace the Fellow positions in societies/conferences ACM, ISC, and the JSSST; the ACM Gordon Bell Prize in 2011 & 2021 and the IEEE Laptop Society Sidney Fernbach Award in 2014, all being one of many highest awards within the discipline of HPC; the Technical Papers Chair and the Program Chair for ACM/IEEE SC09 and SC13 conferences respectively in addition to many different convention chairs, and the ACM Gordon Bell Prize choice committee chair in 2018. He acquired the Medal of Honor with Purple ribbon by the Japanese authorities in 2022.
Matsuoka acquired his B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. in Data Science from The College of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan.
Earlier Seymour Cray Award recipients embrace Gordon Bell, Ken Batcher, John Cocke, Glen Culler, William J. Dally, Monty Denneau, Alan Gara, John L. Hennessy, Peter Kogge, Kenichi Miura, Steven L. Scott, Charles Seitz, Burton J. Smith, Marc Snir, Steven Wallach, Tadashi Watanabe, Mateo Valero and David Kirk.
The 2022 IEEE Laptop Society Seymour Cray Laptop Engineering Award will probably be offered to Dr. Matsuoka on the SC22 convention opening session in Dallas, Texas on Tuesday morning, 19 November 2022. He may even current an invited speak throughout the plenary session scheduled from 8:30 – 10:00am on Wednesday, 16 November.
