Tsubame 2.0 - The Japanese Supercomputer Bags Gordon Bell Prize!
It is a rare honor for many and achieved after lots of hard work that you get the #-Link-Snipped-# - The highest known awards in the computing industry. [GSIC] Tokyo Institute of Technology | Global Scientific Information and Computing Center has bagged this year's Gordon Bell prize for its NVIDIA® Tesla™ GPU-accelerated supercomputer aka Tsubame 2.0.

The award was received by Takayuki Aoki’s research group at the GSIC for Special Achievement in Scalability and Time-to Solution on the Tsubame 2.0 computer also touted to be the world's 5th largest Supercomputer. Mr. Takayuki Aoki is a professor at Tokyo Institute of Technology and is working projects pertaining to increasing the efficiency of Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). The machine was able to solve some of the complex issues of the phase field model of the dendritic structure of metal alloys after the work done by Takayuki's research group on the supercomputer.
The computer now presents a solution on choice of materials before the automobile industry. For achieving this, the problem was divided into number of meshes and then applied the finite difference method which is perhaps very complex and critical on even some of the most advanced super computers however achieved with comparative ease on Tsubame. This was possible with the help of 4000GPUs achieving a peak performance of 44.5%.
The awards were presented at the ACM/IEEE Supercomputing conference 2011 by the Association for Computing Machinery - Wikipedia in conjunction with the Institute Of Electrical And Electronics Engineers. The Gordon Bell prize is awarded every year for breakthrough in parallel computing and solutions for the complex problems which industries face, the best example is the phase field dendritic pattern. The scientific information of which was not known until now. Prize money of $10000 was awarded to the winners.
The super computer was built with the help of Hewlett-Packard (HP) and Nippon Electric Company Ltd (NEC). The computer which is widely known for its capabilities uses HP Proliant and NVIDIA Tesla processors. The maximum processing ability of the computer is 2 Petaflops and expected to be used in many complex problems in future.
