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 the use of parallel
and distributed systems for high-end computing.

The 24th HPDC will take place in the city of roses, Portland, Oregon on June
15-19, 2015. (Workshops on June 15-16, and the main conference on June 17-19.)


**** IMPORTANT DATES ****
Abstracts (required) due:   January 12, 2015
Full Papers due:            January 19, 2015 (no extensions)
Author rebuttal period:     March 4-7, 2015
Author notifications:       March 16, 2015
Final Manuscripts:          April 1, 2015


**** 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. Submissions that focus
on the architectures, systems, and networks of cloud infrastructures are
particularly 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:
- Systems, networks, and architectures
- Massively multicore systems
- Resource virtualization
- Programming languages and environments
- File and storage systems, I/O, and data management
- Resource management and scheduling, including energy-aware techniques
- Performance modeling and analysis
- Fault tolerance, reliability, and availability
- Data-intensive computing
- Applications and services that depend upon high-end 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 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. 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 for more
details. Papers can be submitted at https://ssl.linklings.net/conferences/hpdc/.
