J. H. Wilkinson Prize for Numerical Software
- J. H. Wilkinson Prize for Numerical Software
The J. H. Wilkinson Prize for Numerical Software is awarded every four years to honour outstanding contributions to the field of numerical software.
Overview
In honour of the outstanding contributions of Dr. James Hardy Wilkinson to the field of numerical software, an award of US $3000 is given every four years by the Argonne National Laboratory, the National Physical Laboratory, and the Numerical Algorithms Group.
Eligibility and Selection Criteria
The winner must be at most 40 years of age as of January 1 of the year of the award. The award is given on the basis of:
* Clarity of the software implementation and documentation.
* Clarity of the paper accompanying the entry.
* Portability, reliability, efficiency and usability of the software implementation.
* Depth of analysis of the algorithm and the software.
* Importance of application addressed by the software.
* Quality of the test software
Winners
1991
The first prize in 1991 was awarded to Linda Petzold for DASSL, a differential algebraic equation solver. This code is available in the public domain [http://www.engineering.ucsb.edu/~cse/software.html here] .
1995
The 1995 prize was awarded to Chris Bischof and Alan Carle for ADIFOR 2.0, an automatic differentiation tool for Fortran 77 programs. The code is available for educational and non-profit research [http://www.cs.rice.edu/~adifor/ here] .
1999
The 1999 prize was awarded to Matteo Frigo and Steven Johnson for FFTW, a C library for computing the discrete Fourier transform. FFTW is freely available [http://www.fftw.org/ here] .
2003
