GENERAL INFORMATION

The 2013 Spring Simulation Multiconference will feature the 21st High Performance Computing Symposium (HPC 2013), 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 a new era of high performance parallel and distributed simulations. Along with these new capabilities come new challenges in computing and system modeling. The goal of HPC 2013 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 of ideas and information between universities, industry, and national laboratories about new developments in system modeling, high performance computing and communication, and scientific computing and simulation.

Topics of interest include:

• High performance/large scale application case studies
• GPU for general purpose computations (GPGPU)
• Multicore and many-core computing
• Power aware computing
• Cloud, distributed, and grid computing
• Asynchronous numerical methods and programming
• Hybrid system modeling and simulation
• Large scale visualization and data management
• tools and environments for coupling parallel codes
• Parallel algorithms and architectures
• High performance software tools
• Resilience at the simulation level
• Component technologies for high performance computing

PAPER SUBMISSIONS

Prospective authors are invited to submit full papers (up to 8 pages, double column format) on topics related to the areas listed above. Submissions will be evaluated on relevance, technical quality, and exposition. Papers must not have appeared before (or be pending) in a journal or conference with published proceedings, nor may they be under review or submitted to another forum during the HPC 2013 review process. All accepted papers will be published in the proceedings as regular papers. Papers should be submitted electronically using the paper submission system linked from http://www.scs.org/springsim/2013/. Papers must use SCS format. Formatting instructions are available at http://www.scs.org/upload/documents/Formatting_Kit.pdf. At least one author of an accepted paper must register for the symposium and must present the paper at the symposium.

TUTORIALS, PANELS, AND SPECIAL SESSIONS

Proposals for tutorials, panels, and special sessions are welcome; submit such proposals to the general or program chairs by January 18th, 2013.

PUBLICATION

The symposium proceedings will be published in hard copy and on CD-ROM through SCS and will be in the ACM Digital Library.

BEST PAPER AWARD

At least one paper from each symposium will be chosen for a Best Paper Award, which will be recognized in an awards ceremony before a plenary lecture.
