From left to right, Dr. Carsten Lojewski (Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Mathematics ITWM), Dr. Christian Simmendinger (T-Systems Solutions for Research) and Rui Machado (Fraunhofer ITWM) received one of this year's Joseph von Fraunhofer Prizes for their
programming module for future supercomputers. The 'Global Address Space Programming Interface' (GPI) they developed makes maximum use of the parallel architecture of high-performance computers. GPI is based on an asynchronous communication model: each processor can access all data directly at will - regardless of which memory it is stored on and without affecting other processes running in parallel.
