The 18th annual IEEE International Conference on High Performance Computing (HiPC 2011) will be held in Bengaluru (Bangalore), India, during December 18-21, 2011. It will serve as a forum for researchers from around the world to present their current research efforts and findings, and will act as a venue for stimulating discussions and for highlighting high performance computing (HPC) activities in Asia. The conference has a history of attracting participation from reputed researchers from all over the world. HiPC 2011 will focus on the design and analysis of high performance computing and networking systems and their scientific, engineering, and commercial applications. In addition to technical sessions consisting of contributed papers, the conference will include invited presentations, a student research symposium, tutorials, and vendor presentations.The 17th meeting, held in Goa in December 2010, had 40 contributed papers chosen from 208 submissions from 22 countries; and more than 280 attendees. The 16th meeting, held in Kochi, India in December 2009, had 49 contributed papers that were selected from 261 submissions from 20 countries, and about 225 participants attended the meeting. The 15th meeting, held in Bangalore, India in December 2008, had 46 contributed papers that were selected from over 317 submissions and approximately 250 participants attended the meeting. The HiPC attendance is approximately 300 with a good mix of participants from India and the rest of the world.

Manuscript submission will start on April 4, 2011. Manuscript submission procedures will then be available over the Web at http://www.hipc.org.
Electronic submissions must be in the form of a readable PDF file.
Manuscripts must be received by May 16, 2011. Manuscripts should demonstrate current research in any area of high performance computing.
All manuscripts will be reviewed and will be judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the conference attendees.



Submitted papers must represent original unpublished research that is not currently under review for any other conference or journal.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.

STUDENT RESEARCH SYMPOSIUM



HiPC 2011 will feature the third student research symposium on High Performance Computing (HPC) aimed at stimulating and fostering student research, and providing an international forum to highlight student research accomplishments. The symposium will also expose students to the best practices in HPC in academia and industry. The one-day symposium will feature brief presentations by student authors on their research, followed by a poster exhibit. Short invited talks by leading HPC researchers/ practitioners will be included in the program. The Conference Reception and Student Symposium Poster Exhibits will provide an opportunity for students to interact with HPC researchers and practitioners (and recruiters) from academia and industry. To be considered, students should submit a 5 page extended abstract of their research. Submission procedures will be available at the Student Symposium web site, accessible from http://www.hipc.org, after August 17, 2011. For additional details, please see the conference web site or contact the Symposium Co-Chairs.
