HiPC 2020 Call For Papers
HiPC 2020 will be the 27th edition of the IEEE International Conference on High Performance Computing, Data, Analytics and Data Science. HiPC serves as a forum to present current work by researchers from around the world as well as highlight activities in Asia in the areas of high performance computing and data science. The meeting focuses on all aspects of high performance computing systems, and data science and analytics, and their scientific, engineering, and commercial applications.
Authors are invited to submit original unpublished research manuscripts that demonstrate current research in all areas of high performance computing, and data science and analytics, covering all traditional areas and emerging topics including from machine learning, big data analytics and blockchain. Each submission should be submitted to one of the tracks listed under the two broad themes of High Performance Computing and Data Science.
Up to two best paper awards will be given for outstanding contributed papers.

Examples of topics that are of interest include (but not limited to): * New parallel and distributed algorithms and design techniques; * Advances in enhancing algorithmic properties or providing guarantees (e.g., fault tolerance, resilience, concurrency, data locality, communication-avoiding); * Algorithmic techniques for resource allocation and optimization (e.g., scheduling, load balancing, resource management); * Provably efficient parallel and distributed algorithms for advanced scientific computing and irregular applications (e.g., numerical linear algebra, graph algorithms, computational biology); * Classical and emerging computation models (e.g., parallel/distributed models, quantum computing, neuromorphic and other bioinspired models).
Architecture. This track invites papers that describe original research on the design and evaluation of high performance computing architectures, and related advances. Examples of topics of interest include (but not limited to): * High performance processing architectures (e.g., reconfigurable, system-on-chip, manycores, vector processors); * Networks for high performance computing platforms (e.g., interconnect topologies, network-on-chip); * Memory, cache and storage architectures (e.g., 3D, photonic, Processing-In-Memory, NVRAM, burst buffers, parallel I/O); * Approaches to improve architectural properties (e.g., energy/power efficiency, reconfigurable, resilience/fault tolerance, security/privacy); * Emerging computational architectures (e.g., quantum computing, neuromorphic and other bioinspired architectures).
Applications. This track invites papers that describe original research on the design and implementation of scalable and high performance applications for execution on parallel, distributed and accelerated platforms, and related advances. Examples of topics of interest include (but not limited to): * Shared and distributed memory parallel applications (e.g., scientific computing, simulation and visualization applications, graph and irregular applications, data-intensive applications, science/engineering/industry applications, emerging applications in IoT and life sciences, etc.); * Methods, algorithms and optimizations for scaling applications on peta- and exa-scale platforms (e.g., co-design of hardware and software, heterogeneous and hybrid programming); * Hardware acceleration of parallel applications (e.g., GPUs, FPGA, vector processors, manycore); * Application benchmarks and workloads for parallel and distributed platforms.
Systems Software. This track invites papers that describe original research on the design, implementation and evaluation of systems software for high performance computing platforms, and related advances. Examples of topics of interest include (but not limited to): * Scalable systems and software architectures for high performance computing (e.g., middleware, operating systems, I/O services); * Techniques to enhance parallel performance (e.g., compiler/runtime optimization, learning from application traces, profiling); * Techniques to enhance parallel application development and productivity (e.g., Domain-Specific Languages, programming environments, performance/correctness checking and debugging); * Techniques to deal with uncertainties, hardware/software resilience, and fault tolerance; * Software for cloud, data center, and exascale platforms (e.g., middleware tools, schedulers, resource allocation, data migration, load balancing); * Software and programming paradigms for heterogeneous platforms (e.g., libraries for CPU/GPU, multi-GPU clusters, and other accelerator platforms).

IMPORTANT DATES (2020) Abstract Submissions : June 8, 2020 Paper Submissions : June 15, 2020 Reviews for Rebuttals: August 4, 2020 Initial Submission Decisions: August 21, 2020 Revisions Due: September 22, 2020 Author Notifications: October 2, 2020 Camera Ready: October 16, 2020 Manuscript Guidelines Submitted manuscripts should be structured as technical papers and may not exceed ten (10) single-spaced double-column pages using 10-point size font on 8.5x11 inch pages (IEEE conference style), including figures, tables, and references. See style templates for details:
•LaTex Package (ZIP) – will be linked •Word Package (ZIP) – will be linked
Electronic submissions must be in the form of a readable PDF file. All manuscripts will be reviewed by the Program Committee and evaluated on originality, relevance of the problem to the conference theme, technical strength, rigor in analysis, quality of results, and organization and clarity of presentation of the paper. Authors are highly encouraged to list the key contributions of their paper, for example in a separate paragraph in the introduction of the paper. The review process is “single-blind” (i.e., authors can list their names on the paper), and that there will be a rebuttal period.
Submitted papers must represent original unpublished research that is not currently under review for any other conference or journal. Papers not following these guidelines will be rejected without review and further action may be taken, including (but not limited to) notifications sent to the heads of the institutions of the authors and sponsors of the conference. Submissions received after the due date, exceeding length limit, or not appropriately structured may also not be considered. Authors may contact the Program Chair at the email address below for further information or clarification. A published proceedings will be available at the conference.
At least one author of each paper must be registered for the conference in order for the paper to be published in the proceedings. Presentation of an accepted paper at the conference in person is a requirement of publication. Any paper that is not presented at the conference will not be included in IEEE Xplore.
