Seymour Cray Computer Science and Engineering Award

Seymour Cray Computer Science and Engineering Award

The Seymour Cray Computer Science and Engineering Award, also known as the Seymour Cray Award, is an award given to recognize significant and innovative contributions in the field of high-performance computing. The award honors scientists who exhibit the creativity demonstrated by Seymour Cray, founder of Cray, Inc. and an early pioneer of supercomputing. The winner receives a crystal memento, certificate, and US$10,000.
