Call for Papers

ICS is the premier international forum for the presentation of research results in high-performance computing systems. In 2015, the conference will be held in Newport Beach, California.

Papers are solicited on all aspects of the research, development, and application of large-scale, high-performance experimental and commercial systems, including:

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, reliability and sustainability;
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 10 pages in the ACM format.
