SC Awards
Test of Time Award
The annual SC Test of Time Award (ToTA) recognizes an outstanding paper that has deeply influenced the HPC discipline. It is a mark of historical impact that recognition that the paper has changed HPC trends. The ToTA also acts as an incentive for researchers and students to send their best work to the SC Conference and as a tool to understand what makes lasting results in the HPC discipline. Papers selected for the SC Program at least 10 years prior to the current conference year are considered for this award.
