Wilkinson Prize for Numerical Software from Judith Hill of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, chair of the SIAM Activity Group on Computational Science and Engineering. Matthews and Field Van Zee of the University of Texas at Austin received the award for their development of BLIS: a portable, open-source software framework that facilitates rapid instantiation of high-performance BLAS and BLAS-like operations that target modern central processing units. Matthews presented an associated prize talk on “The BLAS-like Library Instantiation Software” at the meeting. SIAM photo.
