The ACM International Symposium on High-Performance Parallel and Distributed
Computing
(HPDC) is the premier annual conference for presenting the latest research on
the
design, implementation, evaluation, and application of parallel and distributed
systems
for high-end computing.

In 2014, the 23nd HPDC and affiliated workshops will take place in the beautiful
city
of Vancouver, Canada during June 23-27, 2014.


**** IMPORTANT DATES ****
Abstracts Due:          January 20, 2014
Papers Due:             January 27, 2014 (no extensions)
Author Rebuttal:        March 14-18, 2014
Author Notifications:   March 28, 2014


**** SCOPE AND TOPICS ****
Submissions are welcomed on high-performance parallel and distributed computing
topics
including but not limited to: clouds, clusters, grids, Big Data, massively
multicore,
and global-scale computing systems. New scholarly research showing empirical and
reproducible results in architectures, systems, and networks is strongly
encouraged,
as are experience reports of operational deployments that can provide insights
for
future research on HPDC applications and systems. All papers will be evaluated
for
their originality, technical depth and correctness, potential impact, relevance
to the
conference, and quality of presentation. Research papers must clearly
demonstrate
research contributions and novelty, while experience reports must clearly
describe
lessons learned and demonstrate impact.

In the context of high-performance parallel and distributed computing, the
topics of
interest include, but are not limited to:

o	Systems, networks, and architectures for high-end computing
o	Massively multicore systems
o	Resource virtualization
o	Programming languages and environments
o	I/O, storage systems, and data management
o	Resource management and scheduling, including energy-aware techniques
o	Performance modeling and analysis
o	Fault tolerance, reliability, and availability
o	Data-intensive computing
o	Applications of parallel and distributed computing


**** PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES ****
Authors are invited to submit technical papers of at most 12 pages in PDF
format,
including figures and references. Papers should be formatted in the ACM
Proceedings
Style (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates) and submitted
via the
conference web site. No changes to the margins, spacing, or font sizes as
specified by
the style file are allowed. Accepted papers will appear in the conference
proceedings,
and will be incorporated into the ACM Digital Library. A limited number of
papers will
be accepted as posters.

Papers must be self-contained and provide the technical substance required for
the
program committee to evaluate their contributions. Papers should thoughtfully
address
all related work, particularly work presented at previous HPDC events. Submitted
papers must be original work that has not appeared in and is not under
consideration
for another conference or a journal. See the ACM Prior Publication Policy
(http://www.acm.org/publications/policies/sim_submissions) for more details.
