2018 marks the Silver Anniversary of HiPC as we broaden the technical program to specifically include topics related to data science. The conference has a history of attracting participation from reputed researchers from all over the world and receives strong industry support from companies operating globally and also established in India. In addition to the two days of industry exhibits, the sponsoring partners to the conference hold industry symposiums to bring together providers and users of HPC in a forum for presenting state-of-the-art in HPC platforms and technologies, for discussing best practices, and for exchanging experiences. In the last couple years, HiPC has added workshops to its technical program and along with a Student Research Symposium and academic Birds-of-a-Feather sessions, and the conference makes room for a broad list of topics to be addressed by these events including:

Algorithms: - Design of Parallel and Distributed Algorithms - Algorithmic Techniques to Improve Energy and Power Efficiency - Quantum and Bio-Inspired Algorithms - Resilient and Fault Tolerant Algorithms - Parallel algorithms for Numerical Linear Algebra - Concurrent Algorithms and Data Structures - Load Balancing, Scheduling and Resource Management - Parallel Graph Algorithms - Algorithms for Combinatorial Scientific Computing - Parallel Algorithms for Computational Biology - Streaming Algorithms

Architectures: - Interconnection Networks and Architectures - Cache/Memory Architecture for High Performance Computing - High Performance/Scalable Storage Systems - Power-Efficient and Reconfigurable Architectures - Quantum and Bio-Inspired Architectures - Software Support and Advanced Micro-architecture Techniques - Resilient and Fault Tolerant Architectures

Applications: - Big Data Computing and Applications - Cross-Cutting Methods such as Co-Design of Parallel Algorithms, Software, and Architectures - Emerging Applications such as Biotechnology, IoT, and Nanotechnology - Hardware Acceleration for Parallel Applications - Parallelism in Scientific Data Visualization and Visual Analytics - Scientific/Engineering/Industrial Applications and Workloads - Scalable Machine Learning and Data Mining Applications - Scalable Graph and other Irregular Applications - Design of Simulation Applications and Peta- and Exascale Applications
