CALL FOR PAPERS
24th International Conference on Supercomputing (ICS'10)
http://www.ics-conference.org
June 1-4, 2010
Epochal Tsukuba (Tsukuba International Congress Center)
Tsukuba, Japan  http://www.epochal.or.jp/eng/
Sponsored by ACM/SIGARCH

ICS is the premier international forum for the presentation of
research results in high-performance computing systems.  In 2010 the
conference will be held at the Epochal Tsukuba (Tsukuba International
Congress Center) in Tsukuba City, the largest high-tech and academic
city in Japan.

Papers are solicited on all aspects of research, development, and
application of high-performance experimental and commercial systems.
Special emphasis will be given to work that leads to better
understanding of the implications of the new era of million-scale
parallelism and Exa-scale performance; including (but not limited to):

* Computationally challenging scientific and commercial applications:
studies and experiences to exploit ultra large scale parallelism, a
large number of accelerators, and/or cloud computing paradigm.

* High-performance computational and programming models: studies and
proposals of new models, paradigms and languages for scalable
application development, seamless exploitation of accelerators, and
grid/cloud computing.

* Architecture and hardware aspects: processor, accelerator, memory,
interconnection network, storage and I/O architecture to make future
systems scalable, reliable and power efficient.

* Software aspects: compilers and runtime systems, programming and
development tools, middleware and operating systems to enable us to
scale applications and systems easily, efficiently and reliably.

* Performance evaluation studies and theoretical underpinnings of any
of the above topics, especially those giving us perspective toward
future generation high-performance computing.

* Large scale installations in the Petaflop era: design, scaling,
power, and reliability, including case studies and experience reports,
to show the baselines for future systems.

In order to encourage open discussion on future directions, the
program committee will provide higher priority for papers that present
highly innovative and challenging ideas.

Papers should not exceed 6,000 words, and should be submitted
electronically, in PDF format using the ICS'10 submission web
site. Submissions should be blind.  The review process will include a
rebuttal period. Please refer to the ICS'10 web site for detailed
instructions.

Workshop and tutorial proposals are also be solicited and due by
January 18, 2010.  For further information and future updates, refer
to the ICS'10 web site at http://www.ics-conference.org or contact the
General Chair (ics10-chair at hpcs.cs.tsukuba.ac.jp) or Program Co-Chairs
(ics10-chairs at ac.upc.edu).
