GENERAL INFORMATION



The 2011 Spring Simulation Multiconference will feature the 19th High

Performance Computing Symposium (HPC 2011), devoted to the impact of high

performance computing and communications on computer simulations.



Advances in multicore and many-core architectures, networking, high end

computers, large data stores, and middleware capabilities are ushering in

a new era of high performance parallel and distributed simulations. Along

with these new capabilities come new challenges in computing and system

modeling. The goal of HPC 2011 is to encourage innovation in high performance

computing and communication technologies and to promote synergistic advances

in modeling methodologies and simulation. It will promote the exchange of

ideas and information between universities, industry, and national

laboratories about new developments in system modeling, high performance

computing and communication, and scientific computing and simulation.

Topics of interest include:



o high performance/large scale application case studies,

o GPU, multicore, and many-core analysis and applications,

o power aware computing,

o cloud, distributed, and grid computing,

o asynchronous numerical methods and programming,

o hybrid system modeling and simulation,

o visualization and data management,

o problem solving environments,

o tools and environments for coupling parallel codes,

o parallel algorithms and architectures,

o high performance software tools,

o resilience at the simulation level,

o component technologies for high performance computing.





PAPER SUBMISSIONS



Prospective authors are invited to submit full papers (up to 8 pages,

double column format) on topics related to the areas listed above.

Submissions will be evaluated on relevance, technical quality, and

exposition. Papers must not have appeared before (or be pending) in a

journal or conference with published proceedings, nor may they be under

review or submitted to another forum during the HPC 2011 review process.

All accepted papers will be published in the proceedings as regular papers.

Papers should be submitted electronically using the paper submission system

linked from http://www.scs.org/springsim/2011/.



Papers must use SCS format. Formatting instructions are available at

http://www.scs.org/upload/documents/Formatting_Kit.pdf



At least one author of an accepted paper must register for the

symposium and must present the paper at the symposium.





TUTORIALS, PANELS, AND SPECIAL SESSIONS



Proposals for tutorials, panels, and special sessions are welcome; submit

such proposals to the general or program chairs by August 1, 2010.





PUBLICATION



The symposium proceedings will be published in hard copy and on CD-ROM

through SCS and may be in the ACM Digital Library.





BEST PAPER AWARD



At least one paper from each symposium will be chosen for a Best Paper

Award, which will be recognized in an awards ceremony before a plenary

lecture.
