For the second (and, hopefully, final) year in a row, SC21 included a second major research award alongside the ACM 2021 Gordon Bell Prize: the Gordon Bell Special Prize for High Performance Computing-Based COVID-19 Research. Last year, the first iteration of this award went to simulations of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein; this year, the prize went researchers at Japan’s RIKEN who simulated the dynamics of aerosolized COVID droplets, shaping behavior around the world at the height of the pandemic.
