This is the third international meeting on high performance computing to be organized in India. It will serve as a forum to present current work by researchers from around the world as well as highlight activities in India in the high performance computing area. The meeting will emphasize both design and analysis of high performance computing systems and their scientific, engineering, and commercial applications. In addition to technical sessions of contributed paper presentations, the conference will offer invited presentations, tutorials, vendor presentations, and exhibits.

The conference will be held at the Technopark campus which houses state-of-the-art meeting facilities. Technopark is an electronic technology park located in Trivandrum. Accommodation for participants will be available in the hotels at the nearby Kovalam beach resort. Trivandrum(Thiruvananthapuram, the City of the Endless Serpent) is located near the southern-most tip of India. It is the capital of the state of Kerala. With its golden beaches and emerald green palm trees, it is a popular tourist destination. Trivandrum is home to some leading scientific and technological institutions in India including the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre, and the Centre for Earth Science Studies. The city has a number of tourist attractions. Places of tourist attraction include Raja Ravi Varma's dramatic paintings at the Chitra Art Gallery, buildings from colonial times which combine indigenous architectural styles with European ones, the Napier museum with a fine collection of bronzes, and the Oriental manuscript library which preserves ancient palm leaf manuscripts.
