Presentation Instructions

33rd IEEE International Conference on High Performance Computing

Presentation Guidelines for Authors

Congratulations on receiving the opportunity to make your great work visible to the world. 

We have a fixed time budget, hence your cooperation in ensuring timely setup and completion of your talk is crucial. We divide the guidelines as essentials and recommendations. 

Essentials

      • Each talk slot is for 15 minutes: 12 minutes of the in-person talk and 3 minutes of Q&A.
      • Convert your slides to PDF format and email those to your session chair by the previous day of your talk.
      • Do not include external items needing internet connection in the slides.

12 minutes finish very fast. Setting up your laptop can take away a valuable extra minute. Hence, we will be using a single laptop in the hall on which presentations are preloaded. Request you to meet your session chair prior to your session and check whether the slides are visible properly. We will make the session chair details available on the HiPC website closer to the conference dates.

Recommendations

      • Number of slides in single digit (maximum 9 slides, including title slide). It is best to spend time on your technique than rushing through the content.
      • We suggest the following sequence of slides: Title, Motivation, Limitations of the prior art, Your approach and key ideas (3 slides), Best result, Summary and future work. 
      • You may include a QR code on the last slide pointing to the paper URL or your github.
      • Remember that it is possible to give a great talk in 12 minutes.

What to avoid or not to include

      • Avoid font smaller than 20. Avoid text clutter on the slides.
      • Do not try to include all the methodological details or results – try to highlight a few important ones. Do not discuss all the design and implementation details – try to highlight only the most novel and significant ones. Avoid repeated information. 
      • Use more visuals and less text. Don’t include presentation content that requires an internet connection or video/audio player.

The key is to get the audience interested to read your paper after the presentation or talk to you during breaks to know more details. Help them remember a few key ideas from your approach.

HiPC 2026 is the 33rd edition of the IEEE International Conference on High Performance Computing. It will be an in-person event in Bengaluru, India, from December 16 to December 19, 2026.
