The COVID pandemic has changed all of our lives and continues to do so. In the first months of 2020, research teams around the world focussed their attention on how their computational knowledge could be put to use to support efforts to tackle the disease. The resulting projects ranged from the most detailed molecular simulations of a virus ever performed to multivariate data analysis using the wealth of patient data and the latest data analytics techniques. In recognition of the way advanced computing was contributing to the fight against COVID, Gordon Bell, a pioneer in high-performance and parallel computing, endowed the ACM Gordon Bell Special Prize for HPC-Based COVID-19 Research in 2020. Following the high quality of submissions in 2020, he continued the prize for 2021 and 2022. The prizes recognise outstanding research achievement toward the understanding of the COVID-19 pandemic through the use of high performance computing.
