ICS (International Conference on Supercomputing) is the premier international forum for the presentation of research results in high-performance computing systems. In 2011 the conference will be held at the Loews Ventana Canyon Resort in Tucson, Arizona.

Papers are solicited on all aspects of research, development, and application of large-scale, high-performance experimental and commercial systems. The list of topics includes (but not limited to):

* Computationally challenging scientific and commercial applications, particularly studies and experiences on large-scale systems;
* Computer architecture and hardware, including multicore and multiprocessor systems, accelerators, memory, interconnection networks and storage and file systems;
* High-performance computational and programming models, including new languages and middleware for high performance computing, autotuning and function-specific code generators;
* High performance system software, including compilers, runtime systems, programming and development tools and operating systems;
* Hardware and software solutions for heterogeneity, reliability and power efficiency;
* Large scale installations, including case studies to guide the design of future systems;
* Novel infrastructures for internet. grid and cloud computing; and
* Performance evaluation studies and theoretical underpinnings of any of the above topics.

All papers should clearly motivate their relationship to supercomputing in order to receive consideration for acceptance. Papers should not exceed 12 pages in the ACM format. The review process will include a rebuttal period.
