The International Symposium on High-Performance Computer Architecture provides a highquality forum for scientists and engineers to present their latest research findings in this rapidly-changing field. Authors are invited to submit papers on all aspects of highperformance computer architecture.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
 Processor, cache, and memory architectures
 Parallel computer architectures
 Multicore architectures
 Impact of technology on architecture
 Power-efficient architectures and techniques
 Dependable/secure architectures
 High-performance I/O systems
 Embedded and reconfigurable architectures
 Interconnect and network interface architectures
 Architectures for cloud-based HPC and data centers
 Innovative hardware/software trade-offs
 Impact of compilers and system software on architecture
 Performance modeling and evaluation
 Architectures for emerging technology and applications

Authors should submit an abstract by Tuesday, September 3, 2013, 11:59 PM EDT. They
should submit the full version of the paper by Friday, September 6, 2013, 11:59 PM EDT.
No extensions will be granted.

The full version should be a PDF file that does not exceed 12 pages according to the instructions in http://www.hpcaconf.org/hpca20. Papers that
exceed the length limit or that cannot be viewed using Adobe Reader (version 3.0 or higher)
may not be reviewed. Papers should be submitted for double-blind review. We anticipate
making a Best Paper award; all papers will be evaluated based on their novelty, fundamental insights, and potential for long-term impact. New-idea papers are encouraged.

Submission issues should be directed to the program chair at (enright@eecg.toronto.edu). Workshop and tutorial submissions should be directed to the workshop and tutorial co-chairs (nsatish@umich.edu, jmwu@ustc.edu.cn). HPCA-20 will host an Industrial Paper Sessionpresenting novel insights from industry (see Call for Industry Papers at
http://www.hpcaconf.org/hpca20).

Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings distributed to conference attendees. Papers will also be uploaded to IEEE Xplore.
