David E. Keyes is the recipient of the 2007 Sidney Fernbach Award,
cited for
"Outstanding
contributions to the development of scalable numerical algorithms for
the solution of nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) and
for his exceptional leadership in high-performance computation."
His Fernbach lecture slides, slightly augmented relative to what was
delivered at Supercomputing'07 on 14 November 2007, are here in

Keyes gratefully acknowledges support from a consultancy
at ICASE beginning in 1986 under Bob Voigt,
a continuous stream of NSF grants
since 1987, beginning under George Lea's computational engineering program,
from DOE laboratory sabbaticals, beginning in 1991
with with Bill Gropp at Argonne National Laboratory,
and from DOE subcontracts beginning in 1998 with an ASCI Level-2 award
through Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
These opportunities provided exposure to experts from many
disciplines, in both techniques and applications, that led
to the work recognized in the Fernbach Award.
If ever a Fernbach Award were made representatively, for an extended
group effort, this one is it, and Keyes very gratefully
acknowledges the following
