Contributed Papers

The technical program will consist of 40 contributed papers chosen from 206 submissions from 22 countries. The papers will be presented in 10 sessions covering important and timely topics such as performance consistency, virtualization, fault tolerance and power management for large scale HPC and Cloud infrastructures, routing, and programming support, shared memory abstractions and applications for multi-core and GPU systems.

Student Research Symposium

The conference will feature the fourth student research symposium on High Performance Computing on Sunday, December 18th, aimed at stimulating and fostering student research, and providing an international forum to highlight student research accomplishments. The one-day symposium will feature brief presentations by student authors on their research and a poster exhibit, and will be followed by a reception and industry-student mixer.

Workshops

HiPC 2011 will host 3 workshops on December 18th, 2011.

• Workshop on Next Generation Wireless Networks (WonGeN)
• Workshop on Hybrid Multicore Computing
• Workshop on Parallel Algorithms and Software for Analysis of Massive Graphs (ParGraph)

US/India Workshop on CDSE&E

The conference will also host the US/India Workshop on Computational and Data-Enabled Science & Engineering, co-sponsored by the US National Science Foundation (NSF), on December 21 and 22.

Industry, Research and Users Symposium

The symposium will bring together providers and users of HPC to provide a forum for presenting the state-of-the-art in HPC platforms and technologies, for discussing best practices and for exchanging experiences. This one-day symposium, to be held on Monday, December 19th and Tuesday, December 20th, will feature four special sessions with presentations from international experts focused on the role of HPC in Climate and Weather Modeling, Computational Biology, Computational Fluid Dynamics in Aerospace, and an industry led session on Cloud Computing Futures.
