IASTED Conference News
We are happy to report that the paper co-authored by two sophomores, Jiajia Zhao and Philip Cho, "An Efficient Out-of-Core Implementation of Block Cholesky Decomposition on a Multi-GPU System," was chosen as the best paper at the 24th IASTED Conference on Parallel and Distributed Computing and Systems this week in Las Vegas. The paper went through a rigorous review process, and the award was presented to Jiajia and Philip at the conference.
When the conference organizers found out that the paper was written by two undergraduate students, they seemed truly impressed by the high caliber of our students and the college’s commitment to student research. Jiajia’s work was a part of her ISP research, and Philip’s research was funded by FRC SRP. Prof. Lin Cheng and Prof. Peter Yoon have certainly enjoyed working with these talented and committed students for the past several months.
Please join them in congratulating Jiajia and Philip for their remarkable achievement.
Congratulations!
