CALL FOR PAPERS

ICS is the premier international forum for the presentation of research results
in high-performance computing systems. ICS 2013 will be held at the University
of Oregon, Eugene, Oregon, in the heart of the Willamette Valley.

Papers are solicited on all aspects of the research, development, and
application of large-scale, high- performance experimental and commercial
systems, including (but not limited to):
* Computer architecture and hardware, including multicore and multiprocessor
systems, accelerators, memory, interconnection network and storage and file
systems;
* High-performance computational and programming models, including new
languages and middleware for high performance computing, auto-tuning and
function-specific code generators;
* High performance system software, including compilers, runtime systems,
programming and development tools, performance tools, and operating systems;
* Hardware and software solutions for heterogeneity, reliability, and power efficiency;
* Languages, runtimes, and hardware for ?big data? scenarios with a focus on
high-performance data analytics, including scalable data structures, dealing
with large quantities of unstructured data, online monitoring and I/O, and
parallel visualization;
* Computationally challenging scientific and commercial applications,
particularly studies and experiences on large-scale systems, and
supercomputing on big data problems;
* Large scale installations, including case studies to guide the design of
future systems and solutions for efficiently scaling power, performance and
reliability;
* Novel infrastructures for internet, grid and cloud computing;
* Performance evaluation studies and theoretical underpinnings of any of the
above topics.

Of particular interest are papers on any aspects of extreme-scale and
heterogeneous supercomputing systems, integrated HPC software stacks, and
supercomputing applications in science and engineering. Papers should not
exceed 12 pages in the ACM format.
