The 2016 Spring Simulation Multi-Conference will feature the 24th High Performance Computing Symposium (HPC 2016), 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 anew era of high performance parallel and distributed simulations. Along with these new capabilitiescome new challenges in computing and system modeling. The goal of HPC 2016 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 ofideas and information between universities, industry, supercomputing centers, and national laboratories about new developments in system modeling, high performance computing and communication, scientific computing as well as simulation.
