Mr. Sivaramakrishnan said, “The award is a testament to the importance of open-source software development.” The project’s core developers belonged to France, the United Kingdom, India and Japan spanning multiple institutions in academia and industry, he said.
The researcher’s work focuses on designing better ways to write programmes for modern multicore processors and distributed systems. Correctness, efficiency and maintainability of such programmes are part of large software projects, according to an institute release.
