HiPC 2022 Call For Papers

HiPC 2022 will be the 29th edition of the IEEE International Conference on High Performance Computing, Data, Analytics, and Data Science. HiPC serves as a forum to present current work by researchers from around the world as well as highlight activities in Asia in the areas of high performance computing and data science. The meeting focuses on all aspects of high performance computing systems, and data science and analytics, and their scientific, engineering, and commercial applications.

 

Authors are invited to submit original unpublished research manuscripts that demonstrate current research in all areas of high performance computing, and data science and analytics, covering all traditional areas and emerging topics including from machine learning, big data analytics.  Each submission should be submitted to one of the six tracks listed under the two broad themes of High Performance Computing and Data Science.

 

Up to two best paper awards will be given for outstanding contributed papers.

 

Depending on how the COVID-19 pandemic situation evolves, the presentation may be in person or in a virtual format.

 

Authors of selected high-quality papers in HiPC 2022 will be invited to submit extended versions of their papers for possible publication in a special issue of the Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing (JPDC).
