The 19th annual IEEE International Conference on High Performance
Computing (HiPC 2012) will be
held at the Le Meridian hotel in Pune, India, during December 18-21,
2012. 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 highlighting high performance
computing (HPC) related activities
in Asia. The conference has a history of attracting participation from
reputed researchers from all over the
world.
HiPC 2012 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 in the industry, user and research
symposium. The 18th meeting, held
in Bengaluru in December 2011, had 40 contributed papers chosen from
206 submissions from 22
countries, and more than 450 attendees. 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. Further information
about HiPC 2012 and the HiPC series of meetings is available on the

high, two-column format with
columns 3-1/16 inches (7.85 cm) wide with a 3/8 inch (0.81 cm) space
between them, single-spaced 10-
point Times fully 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

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Submitted papers must represent original unpublished research that is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

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 part of the program. The HiPC
Conference Reception and Student
Symposium Poster Exhibits will provide an opportunity for students to
interact with HPC researchers,
practitioners and recruiters from academia and industry. To be
considered, students should submit a 5
page extended abstract of their research. Submissions will be reviewed
and evaluated by the program
committee for technical quality, innovative contributions, and
presentation. Submission instructions will
be available at the Student Symposium web site, accessible from
