CALL FOR PAPERS:
International Conference on High Performance Computing

NEW ACM Templates (August 6, 2021):
ACM is changing the archive format of its publications to separate content from presentation in the new Digital Library, enhance accessibility, and improve the flexibility and resiliency of our publications. This approach requires a new workflow that utilizes a simplified “review” format and a “final submission” format. The “final submission” is submitted to ACM's new production platform where authors will be able review PDF and HTML output formats before publication. (For more details: https://www.acm.org/publications/taps/word-template-workflow). More information about the motivation behind this change and how we prepare publications can be found at https://www.acm.org/articles/pubs-newsletter/2019/blue-diamond-mar-2019#3.
HPC Asia 2022 publishes papers in ACM proceedings and follows this new ACM format. All authors should submit manuscripts for review in the new single column format. We increased the page limit accordingly.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

High performance computing (HPC) is a key technology to solve large problems in science, engineering, and business by utilizing computing power that has been continuously evolving. The International Conference on High Performance Computing in Asia-Pacific Region (HPC Asia) is an international conference series in the Asia Pacific region on HPC technologies, fostering exchange of ideas, research results and case studies related to all issues of high performance computing. The 5th edition, HPC Asia 2022 will be held with the motto "Stepping forward to the Post Moore Era together." Although we are now entering the Exascale era, the Post Moore era will soon follow, and HPC Asia 2022 will provide a unique opportunity to discuss the challenges towards the Post Moore era. In addition, we need to pay close attention to the integration of HPC and AI: while the "convergence" of HPC and AI has been broadly discussed, the intensive "integration" of those will be essential towards computing in the Post Moore era.

== Important Covid-19 notice ==
The conference will be held in “hybrid” or “full online” style, and the final decision will be made in early October 2021.

== Important Dates (AoE) ==
(We welcome new abstract submissions until the paper submission deadline. Please submit abstracts and papers together via the same LinkLings submission form by the deadline)
Abstract submissions due: (Extended) August 31, 2021
Paper submissions due: (Extended) August 31, 2021
Notification of Acceptance: October 14, 2021
Camera-ready papers due: November 1, 2021

== Scope and Topics ==
High performance computing is a key technology to solve large problems in science, engineering, and business by utilizing continuously evolving computing power. HPCAsia, which is an international conference series on HPC technologies in the Asia Pacific region, has been held several times in various countries in Asia, to discuss issues in HPC and to exchange information on research and development results. Following the success of the past HPC Asia conferences, HPCAsia2022 seeks to nurture an exchange of ideas, case studies, and research results related to all issues of HPC.

== Paper Submission ==
Authors are invited to submit technical papers of at most 18 pages in PDF format including figures and references, formatted according to the ACM Proceedings Style (http://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template) and submitted through Linklings (https://ssl.linklings.net/conferences/HPCAsia/). Submitted papers must contain original work that has not appeared in and is not under consideration for another conference or journal. The review process is single-blind. There will be no revision/rebuttal stage.

All authors should submit manuscripts for review in a single column format. Please follow STEP 1 (Microsoft Word/LaTeX) at "2. The Workflow and Templates" in https://www.acm.org/publications/taps/word-template-workflow
