It will serve as a forum to present current work by researchers from around the world as well as highlight activities in Asia in the high performance computing area. The conference has a history of attracting participation from reputed researchers worldwide. The seventh meeting held in Bangalore, India, in December 2000 had 46 contributed papers that were selected from submissions from 12 countries. The conference had tutorials on cutting edge topics in high performance computing and related areas by leading researchers from academia and industry. Please refer to http://www.hipc.org/ for more information on previous meetings. Hyderabad, known as the City of Pearls, is the fifth largest metropolitan city in India and is fast emerging as the hub of Information Technology. Many multi-national companies including Microsoft, Motorola, Oracle, GE Capital, IBM, among others have set up development units in Hyderabad. It is home to upcoming premier universities such as Indian Institute of Information Technology and Indian School of Business and also some of the oldest and prestigious universities in India including Osmania University and Jawaharlal Nehru Technical University. Hyderabad is highly cosmopolitan and presents a mix of various cultures which is reflected in its ethnic, cultural, architectural and culinary diversity. HiPC 2001 will emphasize the design and analysis of high performance computing and networking systems and their scientific, engineering, and commercial applications. In addition to technical sessions of contributed paper presenta- tions, the conference will offer invited presentations, a poster/presentation session, tutorials, vendor presentations, and exhibits.
