*****************************************************************
* High Performance Computing and Big Data are two main *
* areas where NPC 2021 will provide a dynamic forum to *
* explore, discuss and debate state-of-the-art *
* technology issues and challenges. High-performance *
* computers and big-data systems are tied inextricably *
* to the broader computing ecosystem and its designs *
* and market adoption. We strongly believe that the *
* stakes are high and are far beyond the boundaries of *
* nations and continents. We invite all researchers *
* around the world to submit papers to NPC 2021. *
* *
* We share the view that, during the past decade, the *
* tools and cultures of high-performance computing and *
* big data analytics are diverging to the detriment of *
* both, and the international community should find a *
* unified path that can best serve the needs of a broad *
* spectrum of major application areas. Unlike other *
* tools, which are limited to particular scientific *
* domains, computational modeling and data analytics *
* are applicable to all areas of science and *
* engineering, as they breathe life into the underlying *
* mathematics of scientific models. *

* SUBMISSION INFO & GUIDELINES *
* *
* Authors should submit the full version of the paper *
* by July 11, 2021, AOE. The full version should be a *
* PDF file following the submission guidelines that *
* will be made available at the submission website. *

* papers as well as papers that significantly advance *
* established areas are strongly encouraged. Submission *
* issues should be directed to program chairs, Jean-Luc *
* Gaudiot, Guangming Tan and Stéphane Zuckerman. We *
* will publish top papers from NPC 2021 in a special *
* issue of the International Journal of Parallel *
* Programming (IJPP), and the proceedings will be *
* published as part of Springer LNCS. *
* *
* Manuscript submission *
* *
* Papers reporting original and unpublished research *
