The Research Paper Sessions at ISC 2015 in Frankfurt, Germany provide first-class open forums for engineers and scientists in academia, industry and government to present and discuss issues, trends and results which will shape the future of high-performance computing. They will be held Monday, July 13, through Wednesday, July 15, 2015.

In 2015, we will feature the topic “Cost-Efficient Data Centers” as a research thrust. We are looking for approaches to improve the overall production efficiency of these facilities. Relevant aspects include but are not limited to performance evaluation, energy efficiency, scalable administration and total cost of ownership. We also encourage the submission of industrial papers and interesting evaluations as technical short papers.
