Program Highlights
The 20th IEEE International Conference on High Performance Computing (HiPC 2013), will be held in Bengaluru (Bangalore), India, December 18 - 21, 2013, will serve as a forum for presenting current work by researchers from around the world as well as to highlight activities in Asia, in the area of high performance computing.
Keynote Speakers
· Ivo Bolsens, Senior Vice President & Chief Technology Officer, Xilinx research laboratories, “The All Programmable SOC FPGA at the heart of programmable systems”
· Ian Buck, General Manager, GPU Computing Software, NVIDIA, on “GPU Computing, Past, Present, and Future”
· Robert J. Harrison, Institute for Advanced Computational Science, Stony Brook University and Center for Scientific Computing, Brookhaven National Laboratory, “Big science, big data, big compute”
Contributed Papers
The technical program will consist of 49 contributed papers chosen from 196 submissions from all over the world. The papers will be presented in a single-track multiple session format covering important and timely topics such as performance consistency, virtualization, fault tolerance and power management for large scale HPC and Cloud infrastructures, routing, and programming support, shared memory abstractions and applications for multi-core and GPU systems.
Student Research Symposium
The conference will feature the 6th student research Symposium on High Performance Computing on December 18 aimed at stimulating and fostering student research, and providing an international forum to highlight student research accomplishments. The one-day symposium will feature brief presentations by student authors on their research and a poster exhibit, and will be followed by a reception and industry-student mixer. Awards for Best Paper, Best Poster, and Best Presentation will be presented at the symposium. A total of INR 40,000 for the awards is expected from ANSYS, and books worth $1500 from Springer. Nvidia will sponsor an award for the best paper using GPU technology.
Workshops
As part of the conference, 2 workshops will be hosted on December 18.
· International Workshop on Cloud Computing Applications (IWCA)
· Workshop on Performance Engineering and Applications (WPEA)
Industry, Research and Users Symposium
The symposium will bring together practitioners and users including both commercial and non-commercial users of HPC to provide a forum for presenting the state-of-the-art in HPC platforms and technologies, for discussing best practices and for exchanging experiences. This two-day symposium, will be held on December 19 - 20, will feature two sessions with presentations from international experts, focusing on the following topics:
· Large Scale Computational Fluid Dynamics – the challenges ,limitations and opportunity areas for HPC.
· Intersection of HPC and Big Data - Challenges and opportunities
Industry/Research Exhibits
This two-day exhibition session, to be held on December 19 - 20, will consist of exhibits and presentations from vendor companies and R&D laboratories.
Conference Registration
Conference registration includes attendance at all workshops and technical sessions and a copy of the HiPC 2013 proceedings. The early registration deadline for discounted fees is November 14, 2013. International attendees are advised to start the process for their registration and application for a travel visa as soon as possible. Visit the conference website for further details.
Information for India-based Participants
Registration at reduced rates is made possible for India-based faculty, students, and researchers through sponsorships from India based industries and organizations. Travel scholarships for India-based students are available on a merit basis to promote HPC research in India.
Birds-of-a-Feather
The conference will feature four Birds-of-a-Feather sessions organized by Shell, NVIDIA, Intel and Mellanox. The sessions will individually focus on Computational Challenges in the Energy Sector, GPU computing with CUDA & OpenACC, Xeon Phi enabling and High Performance Clouds. Further details will be made available on the HiPC web site.
Sponsorship Opportunities
The HiPC conference is annually sponsored by several Indian and international organizations, institutions, and companies. Please visit sponsorship opportunities for more details and the sponsor's page for the list of current sponsors.
Panel Discussion
The panel discussion on “Convergence of HPC and Big Data - Opportunities and Issues” will address the common denominators and key differentiators on the convergence of HPC and Big Data. A special focus will be on the typical data structures in both segments and on typical architectures and algorithmic structures used to process and manipulate the data.
