Papers are solicited on all aspects of research, development, and application of high-performance computing systems, including but not limited to the following:

• Computer architecture and hardware, including multicore, many-core and multiprocessor systems from small to very large scales, components in such systems such as accelerators, memory systems, storage architectures, interconnection networks at various levels, and heterogeneous systems

• Programming and execution models for high-performance computing, including new paradigms, languages, task creation and specification models, domain-specific language/programming support

• Static and dynamic compilation: optimization techniques to exploit all aspects of high performance architectures and auto-tuning techniques

• Runtime and system software support for high-performance computing, including task and resource management at chip-level, cluster-level, up to the scale of large-scale academic/commercial computing service infrastructure, debugging, fault-tolerance, power/energy management, file systems, and performance evaluation/monitoring

• New computational algorithms and their applications for high performance computing systems

• Workload characterization and empirical studies especially those on new scientific and commercial applications that pose significant challenges, and studies of highly experimental real systems

• Data intensive high performance computing: system support, algorithm design and application development for high performance computing that deal with large-scale collected data sets
