ICSA success at CC/GCO 2024
Edinburgh, 2-6 March 2024
Congratulations go to the ICSA members who contributed to a successful CC/CGO 2024!
Distinguished Paper Award
Murray Cole and Bjoern Franke received the Distinguished Paper award for their paper entitled:
Revealing Compiler Heuristics through Automated Discovery and Optimization
This paper was co-authored with former ICSA members Hugh Leather, Chris Cummins and Volker Seeker who now work at MetaAI.
This is Murray's second distinguished CGO paper award.
Test of Time Award at CGO 2024
Michael O'Boyle received the 2014 Test of Time Award for his paper entitled:
Portable Mapping of Data Parallel Programs to OpenCL for Heterogeneous Systems
This paper co-authored with former ICSA members Dominic Grewe (DeepMind) and Zheng Wang (University of Leeds).
This award is for the most impactful paper from a decade ago.
This is Michael's third CGO Test of Time award.

Student Research Competitions - 1st place awards for ICSA students
The ACM Student Research Competition (SRC) offers a forum for undergraduate and graduate students to present their original research before a panel of judges and attendees at CGO.
To participate in the competition, students were required to submit an extended abstract (500 words) which were then reviewed by a selection committee. Selected abstracts were then invited to present as posters at the conference. The best three posters selected at the conference were then invited to give a short presentation the following day.
Competition winners were selected based on the submitted abstract, the poster, and the presentation. Winners of the CGO SRC awards will be invited to participate in the grand 2024 ACM SRC competition.
