Student Research Symposium

HiPC 2012 will feature the fifth student research symposium on High Performance Computing (HPC) aimed at stimulating and fostering student research, and providing an international forum to highlight student research accomplishments. The symposium will also expose students to the best practices in HPC in academia and industry. The one-day symposium will feature brief presentations by student authors on their research, followed by a poster exhibit. Short invited talks by leading HPC researchers/ practitioners will be included in the program. The Conference Reception and Student Symposium Poster Exhibits will provide an opportunity for students to interact with HPC researchers and practitioners (and recruiters) from academia and industry. For additional details, please contact the Symposium Co-Chairs.

August 1, 2012 - Submission Opens
September 23, 2012 - Submission Deadline
October 21, 2012 - Accept/Reject Decision Notification
December 18, 2012 - Student Symposium

Eligibility

The research work presented in the submission should primarily be the result of student research. Accepted papers and posters should be presented by a student author. The student author should have been a full-time student at some point in 2012. Non-student co-authors are permitted.

Abstract Submission

The extended abstracts should be submitted in PDF format. The document should be at most 5 letter size (8.5in x 11in) pages in 11 pt or 12 pt font, single spaced, with at least one-inch margins on all sides. Please identify the names of student authors in a footnote. If some part of your submission was published by you previously, then you should cite your prior work and indicate how the current submission differs from it.

Submissions will be handled electronically at: https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/HIPC2012. Please create an account there, if you do not have one already, login, and follow submission instructions.

The selected extended abstracts will be published online on the conference web site and on a CD to be distributed at the conference. They will not be part of the official HiPC conference proceedings.

Selection will be competitive and all submissions will be reviewed. Manuscripts will be judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the conference attendees.

Topics

All topics relevant to the HiPC conference are of interest to this symposium.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

Awards and Scholarships

Awards for Best Poster and Best Presentation will be presented at the symposium. We expect a total of INR 50,000 for the awards from the IEEE Technical Committee on Parallel Processing.

Students from Indian academic institutions are encouraged to apply for the HiPC travel scholarship. The conference expects to award travel scholarship to at least one student author of each accepted submission from Indian academic institutions who apply. In addition, highly motivated students who wish to attend the conference but do not have a submission, may also apply for these scholarships. Details on applying will be announced later.

A book containing the resumes of the students participating in the symposium will be compiled and made available to the sponsors of the HiPC 2012 conference.

Talks by Experts

Professional Opportunities in High Performance Computing in India
Pradeep K. Sinha
Senior Director (HPC), C-DAC

Abstract: High Performance Computing (HPC) plays an important role in both scientific advancement and economic competitiveness of a nation because it is a powerful tool for accelerating a nation's R&D programs by increasing the productivity of scientists and researchers. It enables scientists and researchers to produce scientific and industrial solutions faster, less expensively, and with higher quality than traditional theory and experimentation alone. HPC, therefore, is seen as a powerful tool of a nation to compete with other nations. This is exactly the reason why today many nations are vying for HPC leadership.

HPC has gradually evolved as a domain with ample professional opportunities. Today, many students see HPC as an area to pursue their professional career. HPC being a multi-disciplinary domain offers career opportunities not only to students with computer science and engineering background, but also to students specializing in any branch of engineering or science. As the scale of HPC systems and applications grows, the need for HPC aware skilled manpower will also grow providing more and more job opportunities in future. India started its HPC programs in late 1980s and has since then developed various indigenous HPC capabilities. Today, India possesses a wealth of HPC- related experiences and expertise including hardware, system software, application software, system operation & management and many more. The talk will focus on the various types of skills required for a country to successfully drive its HPC programs. It will then deal with the various types of professional opportunities available in India in the field of HPC for those willing to be part of India's future HPC programs.

Bio: Dr. Pradeep K. Sinha led national programs in the areas of High Performance Computing, Grid Computing, and Health Informatics. Before joining C-DAC in 1996, Dr. Sinha was with Multimedia Systems Research Laboratory of Panasonic in Tokyo, Japan. At C-DAC, Dr. Sinha has been deeply involved in the design and development of PARAM series of supercomputers. He was also instrumental in the setup and operation of C-DAC's National PARAM Supercomputing Facility (NPSF) at Pune, the Terascale Supercomputing Facility (CTSF) at Bangalore, and the National Grid Garuda infrastructure. Dr. Sinha is currently leading the HPC team at C-DAC to build yet more powerful and usable supercomputers in India. He hold two internationalpatents and has authored a number of technical papers and six books. Dr. Sinha recently received the recognition of "ACM Distinguished Engineer" from the Association for Computing Machinery for significant accomplishments in, and impact on, the computing field.
