The HPCwire Awards has recognized the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center (PSC) as a leader in the global high-performing-computing community. At the 2021 International Conference for High-performance Computing, PSC received two HPCwire Readers’ awards and the Editors’ Choice Award for science performed at the center. This is the 12th year PSC has been recognized.

For the Editors’ award, scientists working for the state of Louisiana used PSC’s Bridges and Bridges-2 to simulate the impact of storms on the state’s coastal regions. The Readers’ award cited an international team that used Bridges-2, among other systems, in an artificial-intelligence approach toward rapid classification of mysterious collections of stars called compact clusters.

“Our team is very proud to support the amazing and impactful accomplishments that led to these awards,” said Shawn Brown, director of PSC.
