Papers are solicited on all aspects of research, development, and application of highperformance computing systems, including but not limited to the following:

• Computer architecture and hardware, including multicore, manycore and multiprocessor systems from small to very large scales, components in such systems such as accelerators, memory systems, storage architectures, interconnection networks at various levels, and heterogeneous systems;

• Programming and execution models for high-performance computing, including new paradigms, languages, task creation and specification models, domain-specific language/programming support;

• Static and dynamic compilation: optimization techniques to exploit all aspects of high performance architectures and auto-tuning techniques;

• Runtime and system software support for high-performance computing, including task and resource management at chip-level, cluster-level, up to the level of largescale academic/commercial computing service infrastructure, debugging, faulttolerance,power/energy management, file systems, and performance evaluation/monitoring

• New computational algorithms and their applications for high performance computing systems.

• Workload characterization empirical studies especially those on new scientific and commercial applications that pose significant challenges, and studies of highly experimental real systems.

• Data intensive high performance computing: system support, algorithm design and application development for high performance computing that deal with largescale collected data sets.
