The International Symposium on High-Performance Computer Architecture provides a high-quality forum for scientists and engineers to present their latest research findings in this rapidly-changing field. Authors are invited to submit papers on all aspects of high-performance computer architecture. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Processor, cache, and memory architectures
Parallel computer architectures
Multicore architectures
Impact of technology on architecture
Power-efficient architectures and techniques
Dependable/secure architectures
High-performance I/O systems
Embedded and reconfigurable architectures
Interconnect and network interface architectures
Architectures for cloud-based HPC
Innovative hardware/software trade-offs
Impact of compilers and system software on architecture
Performance modeling and evaluation
Architectures for emerging technology and applications

Authors should submit an abstract by Wednesday, August 30, 2012, 11:59 PM PDT. They should submit the full version of the paper by Wednesday, September 7, 2012, 11:59 PM PDT. No extensions will be granted. The full version should be a PDF file that does not exceed 25 pages according to the instructions in http://www.hpcaconf.org/hpca19. Papers that exceed the length limit or that cannot be viewed using Adobe Reader (version 3.0 or higher) may not be reviewed. Papers should be submitted for double-blind review. We anticipate making a Best Paper award; all papers will be evaluated based on their novelty, fundamental insights, and potential for long-term impact. New-idea papers are encouraged. Submission issues should be directed to the program chair at (tullsen@cs.ucsd.edu). Workshop and tutorial submissions should be directed to the workshop and tutorial co-chairs (mattan.erez@mail.utexas.edu, byzang@fudan.edu.cn). HPCA-19 will host an Industrial Paper Session presenting novel insights from industry (see Call for Industry Papers at http://www.hpcaconf.org/hpca19).

Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings distributed to conference attendees. Papers will also be uploaded to IEEE Xplore.
