Sponsored by ACM/SIGARCH

ICS is the premier international forum for the presentation of research results in high-performance and super-computing. The 2018 conference will be held in Beijing, China.

Papers are solicited on all aspects of research, development, and application of high-performance and super-computing systems, including but not limited to the following:

1. Programming and execution models for high-performance computing;
2. Static and dynamic compilation optimization techniques to exploit all aspects of high performance architectures;
3. Computer Architectures and accelerators aiming to support high-performance computing;
4. Runtime and system software support for high-performance and heterogeneous computing;
5. New computational models and algorithms for high performance computing systems;
6. Security aspect of datacenters; how can we protect datacenters and how can we use them to expose security weaknesses;
7. New applications and workload analysis；
8. The use of machine learning to design/analyze large-scale computing system.

The review process will include a rebuttal period, and the papers will be judged based on novelty, technical soundness, and potential impact on the field.
