Invitation:
You are cordially invited to participate in and attend the 2011 International Conference on High Performance Computing & Simulation to be held in Istanbul, Turkey, July 4 - 8, 2011 in conjunction with the International Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing Conference (IWCMC 2011). The conference is to address, explore and exchange information on the state-of-the-art in high performance and large scale computing systems, their use in modeling and simulation and data intensive applications. We encourage papers with both an application or technology flavor (and their multidisciplinary integration). The scope covers architecture, performance, algorithms, middleware, and applications. Work on Clouds, Clusters and Grids are of interest as is use of special purpose hardware like GPGPU's. Invitation to participate is extended to researchers, designers, educators and interested parties in all related disciplines and specialties.

Purpose:
The conference will include invited presentations by experts from academia, industry, and government as well as contributed paper presentations describing original work on the current state of research in HPC & simulation technologies and systems and related issues.
