<br>
The ACM International Symposium on High-Performance Parallel and Distributed Computing (HPDC) is the premier annual conference for presenting the latest research on the design, implementation, evaluation, and application of parallel and distributed systems <br>
for high-end computing.<br>
<br>
This year, HPDC is affiliated with the </font><a href="http://www.acm.org/fcrc"><font size="2" color="#1155CC" face="Courier New"><u>ACM Federated Computing Research Conference</u></font></a><font size="2" face="Courier New">, consisting of twelve leading ACM conferences and workshops. HPDC will be held on June 17-19 (Wednesday through Friday) with affiliated workshops taking place on June 15-16 (Monday and Tuesday).<br>

**** SCOPE AND TOPICS ****<br>
Submissions are welcomed on high-performance parallel and distributed computing topics including but not limited to: clouds, clusters, grids, big data, massively multicore, and global-scale computing systems. Submissions that focus on the architectures, systems, and networks of cloud infrastructures are particularly encouraged, as are experience reports of operational deployments that can provide insights for future research on HPDC applications and systems. </font><br>
<font size="2" face="Courier New">All papers will be evaluated for their originality, technical depth and correctness, potential impact, relevance to the conference, and quality of presentation. Research papers must clearly demonstrate research contributions and novelty, while experience reports must clearly describe lessons learned and demonstrate impact.<br>
<br>
In the context of high-performance parallel and distributed computing, the topics of interest include, but are not limited to:<br>
<br>
* Systems, networks, and architectures</font><br>
<font size="2" face="Courier New"> * Massively multicore systems<br>
* Resource virtualization</font><br>
<font size="2" face="Courier New"> * Programming languages and environments<br>
* File and storage systems, I/O, and data management<br>
* Resource management and scheduling, including energy-aware techniques<br>
* Performance modeling and analysis<br>
* Fault tolerance, reliability, and availability<br>
* Data-intensive computing</font><br>
<font size="2" face="Courier New"> * Applications and services that depend upon high-end computing<br>
</font><br>
<font size="2" face="Courier New"><br>
**** PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES ****<br>
Authors are invited to submit technical papers of at most 12 pages in PDF format, including figures and references. Papers should be formatted in the ACM Proceedings Style (</font><a href="http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates"><font size="2" face="Courier New">http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates</font></a><font size="2" face="Courier New">) and submitted via the conference web site. No changes to the margins, spacing, or font sizes as specified by the style file are allowed. Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings, and will be incorporated into the ACM Digital Library. A limited number of papers will be accepted as posters. <br>
<br>
Papers must be self-contained and provide the technical substance required for the program committee to evaluate their contributions. Submitted papers must be original work that has not appeared in and is not under consideration for another conference or journal. See the ACM Prior Publication Policy (</font><a href="http://www.acm.org/publications/policies/sim_submissions"><font size="2" face="Courier New">http://www.acm.org/publications/policies/sim_submissions</font></a><font size="2" face="Courier New">) for more details.<br>
