GENERAL INFORMATION

The 2017 Spring Simulation Multi-Conference will feature the 25th High Performance Computing Symposium (HPC 2017), 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 2017 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, supercomputing centers, and national laboratories about new developments in system modeling, high performance computing and communication, scientific computing as well as simulation.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

  • High performance computing issues in Big Data analytics
  • High performance/large scale application case studies
  • GPU for general purpose computations (GPGPU)
  • Accelerator and co-processor computing
  • Multicore and many-core computing
  • Exascale challenges
  • Cloud, distributed, and grid computing
  • Hybrid parallel or distributed algorithms
  • Large scale visualization and data management
  • Parallel algorithms and architectures
  • High performance software tools and techniques
  • Resilience at the simulation level
  • Component technologies for high performance computing

PAPER SUBMISSIONS

Contributed papers are maximum 12 pages long with single column format (5 pages at minimum). They will be peer reviewed and - if accepted and presented at the conference - submitted to the ACM Digital Library. 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 SpringSim'17 review process. At least one author of an accepted paper must register for the symposium and must present the paper at the symposium. There is also a possibility to submit to Work in Progress or Posters tracks; more details will be announced on the website. All submissions will be peer reviewed and feedback will be provided.

Papers should be submitted electronically using the SpringSim paper submission system for HPC 2017. The submission of full papers is open also to authors who did not previously submit an abstract. Please, use the new paper kit.

TUTORIALS, PANELS, AND SPECIAL SESSIONS

Proposals for tutorials, panels, and special sessions are welcome; submit such proposals to the general or program chairs by October 31, 2016. Early submissions are appreciated.

PUBLICATION

The symposium proceedings will be published in hard copy, on USB flash drive through SCS and 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. The last year's award winners are listed at the HPC 2016 website.
