Hewlett Packard Enterprise Announces Winners of the Prestigious Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam HPC Awards 2023

Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE: HPE) today announced recipients of the 7th edition of the Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam HPC Awards 2023. As a company committed to promoting advancements in High-Performance Computing, HPE annually hosts these prestigious awards to recognize innovation, performance, scalability, and their impact on scientific discovery or industrial competitiveness. The awards ceremony took place in conjunction with the HPE ForCAST S’ymposium, where HPC experts, researchers, and decision-makers from across the country gathered.

 

Named after the esteemed former President, renowned scientist, and Bharat Ratna awardee, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, these awards celebrate and showcase individuals and organizations who have made significant contributions to the advancement of HPC in science, engineering, and beyond.

 

The awards are presented in four categories: R&D in HPC applications, R&D in HPC Systems (Hardware and Software), HPC Education, and Efficient HPC facility design and management for Young Scientist and Scientist categories. Furthermore, the awards include two new categories introduced for the year 2023: Largest HPC Performance Award – Based on Performance (TeraFlop’s) & Scalability, and Best AI-Based Use Case in India - Based on Outcome delivered using HPC technologies.

 

"We are immensely proud to honor these exceptional individuals and organizations who have demonstrated exemplary dedication and ingenuity in the field of high-performance computing," said Som Satsangi, SVP and managing director, at HPE India. "Their groundbreaking contributions have propelled the HPC industry forward, enriched scientific research, and fostered innovation across various domains.
