Pawel Radtke Wins Best Poster Prize at SIAM PP26
March 5, 2026.
SciComp PhD student Pawel Radtke has been awarded the Best Poster Prize at the SIAM Conference on Parallel Processing for Scientific Computing 2026 in Berlin.
The award recognises Pawel’s poster and presentation on:
“Compiler-Supported Reduced Precision and AoS-SoA Transformations for Heterogeneous Hardware.”
The work investigates how compiler techniques can automatically transform data structures and numerical precision to improve performance on modern heterogeneous systems. By combining reduced-precision computation with automated Array-of-Structures to Structure-of-Arrays (AoS-SoA) transformations, the approach enables better utilisation of vectorisation and accelerator hardware while maintaining numerical accuracy.
These techniques are particularly relevant for next-generation HPC systems, where performance increasingly depends on efficiently exploiting heterogeneous architectures and memory hierarchies.
The work has also been published in the SIAM PP26 proceedings, highlighting its contribution to the ongoing research effort on performance-portable scientific computing.
Pawel’s research forms part of the SciComp group’s broader work on performance engineering, high-performance simulation frameworks, and compiler-assisted optimisation techniques for large-scale scientific applications.
Congratulations to Pawel on this well-deserved recognition!
