The technical committee seeks new presentations that clearly describe advances in high performance extreme computing technologies, emphasizing one or more of the following topics:

All submissions will be peer-reviewed and judged on their technical merit, novelty, and relevance to the technical program. Preference will be given to papers with strong, quantitative results. The conference will have 30 minute oral presentations and poster displays. Presenters who wish to have hardware demonstrations are encouraged to mark their preference for a poster display.

Paper submissions can be up to 6 pages and should use the approved IEEE templates. The highest scoring submissions will be published by IEEE in the official HPEC proceedings available on IEEE eXplore. All other accepted submissions are published on ieee-hpec.org.

Instructions for submitting are posted on the conference web site at: http://ieee-hpec.org/submit.htm
