Topics of Interest

Papers are solicited on all aspects of the architecture, software, and applications of high-performance computing systems of all scales (from chips to supercomputing systems), including but not limited to:

• Processor, accelerator, memory, storage, interconnect, and system architectures, including architectures based on future and emerging hardware (e.g. quantum, superconducting, photonic, neuromorphic).
• Programming languages, paradigms, and execution models, including domain-specific languages and scientific problem-solving software environments.
• Compilers, runtime systems and system software, including optimization and support for hardware resources and energy management.
• High-performance algorithms and applications including machine learning and large-scale data analytics, as well as the implementation and deployment of algorithms and applications on large-scale systems.
• Tools for measurement, modeling, analysis, and visualization of performance, energy, or other quantitative properties of high-performance computing systems.

Papers will be evaluated based on their novelty, technical soundness, and potential impact on the field. The review process includes a rebuttal phase, and the committee’s discussions will take the authors’ responses into account. A paper cannot be submitted to both cycles.
