Dr. Huiyang Zhou and his students have been awarded a best paper award in the architecture track with the title of Locality Principle Revisited: A Probability-Based Quantitative Approach for the 2012 IEEE International Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium (IEEE IPDPS).

This was an especially competitive year with 569 paper submissions where there was one best paper selected for each track.

IPDPS is an international forum for engineers and scientists from around the world to present their latest research findings in all aspects of parallel computation. In addition to technical sessions of submitted paper presentations, the meeting offers workshops, tutorials, and commercial presentations & exhibits.

IPDPS represents a unique international gathering of computer scientists from around the world. Now, more than ever, we prize this annual meeting as a testament to the strength of international cooperation in seeking to apply computer science technology to the betterment of our global village.

Dr. Zhou and his students will present their paper at IPDPS ’12, which will take place on May 23, 2012.
