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Authors are invited to submit original unpublished research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.

HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTING

on developing new parallel and distributed computing algorithms, and
related advances. 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);

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.);

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).
DATA SCIENCE
Scalable Algorithms and Analytics. This track invites papers that
describe original research on developing scalable algorithms for data
analysis at scale, and related advances. Examples of topics of
interest include (but not limited to):

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.

Authors of selected high quality papers in HiPC 2020 will be invited
to submit extended versions of their papers for possible publication
in a special issue of Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing.
