The 18th annual IEEE International Conference on High Performance
Computing (HiPC 2011) will be held in Bengaluru (Bangalore), India,
during December 18-21, 2011. It will serve as a forum for researchers
from around the world to present their current research efforts and
findings, and will act as a venue for stimulating discussions and for
highlighting high performance computing (HPC) activities in Asia. The
conference has a history of attracting participation from reputed
researchers from all over the world. HiPC 2011 will focus on the design
and analysis of high performance computing and networking systems and
their scientific, engineering, and commercial applications. In addition
to technical sessions consisting of contributed papers, the conference
will include invited presentations, a student research symposium,
tutorials, and vendor presentations.The 17th meeting, held in Goa in
December 2010, had 40 contributed papers chosen from 208 submissions
from 22 countries; and more than 280 attendees. The 16th meeting, held
in Kochi, India in December 2009, had 49 contributed papers that were
selected from 261 submissions from 20 countries, and about 225
participants attended the meeting. The 15th meeting, held in Bangalore,
India in December 2008, had 46 contributed papers that were selected
from over 317 submissions and approximately 250 participants attended
the meeting. The HiPC attendance is approximately 300 with a good mix of
participants from India and the rest of the world.



Further information about HiPC 2010 and the HiPC series of meetings is
available on the conference website at http://www.hipc.org.

justified text).



Submissions not conforming to these guidelines may be returned without
review. Authors should submit the manuscript in PDF format and make sure
that the file will print on a printer that uses letter size (8.5 x 11)
paper. The official language of the meeting is English.



Manuscript submission will start on April 4, 2011. Manuscript submission
procedures will then be available over the Web at http://www.hipc.org.
Electronic submissions must be in the form of a readable PDF file.
Manuscripts must be received by May 16, 2011. Manuscripts should
demonstrate current research in any area of high performance computing.
All manuscripts will be reviewed and will be judged on correctness,
originality, technical strength, significance, quality of presentation,
and interest and relevance to the conference attendees.



Submitted papers must represent original unpublished research that is
not currently under review for any other conference or journal. Papers
not following these guidelines will be rejected without review and
further action may be taken, including (but not limited to)
notifications sent to the heads of the institutions of the authors and
sponsors of the conference. Submissions received after the due date,
exceeding length limit, or not appropriately structured may also not be
considered. Authors may contact the Program Chair at the address below

STUDENT RESEARCH SYMPOSIUM



HiPC 2011 will feature the third 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. To be
considered, students should submit a 5 page extended abstract of their
research. Submission procedures will be available at the Student
Symposium web site, accessible from http://www.hipc.org, after August
17, 2011. For additional details, please see the conference web site or
contact the Symposium Co-Chairs.
