In 2025, the poster “DisCostiC: Digital Twin Performance Simulations Unlocking Hardware-Software Interplay” by Ayesha Afzal, Georg Hager, and Gerhard Wellein (Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany) received First Place in the Best Research Poster Award at ISC High Performance, sponsored by Springer. This award recognizes the most outstanding research poster presented at the conference, honoring excellence in scientific quality, clarity of presentation, novelty, and potential impact on the high-performance computing community.
The ISC Poster Awards highlight emerging and innovative research in HPC, and the €500 first-place prize underscores the significance of the contribution. The recognized poster demonstrates how DisCostiC, a digital-twin-based performance simulation framework, provides deep insights into the interplay between hardware and software in large-scale parallel systems. By enabling predictive, full-scale performance studies without requiring execution of the application code, DisCostiC supports efficient design-space exploration and guides the development of future HPC systems and applications.
