Northeast Parallel Architectures Center (NPAC) at Syracuse University

IN COOPERATION WITH:

ACM SIGCOMM
Rome Laboratory

THEME:

The Fourth International Symposium on High Performance Distributed Computing is a forum for presenting the latest research findings on the application of parallel and distributed computing for solving computationally intensive applications across a network of high-performance computers. Authors are invited to submit full papers on all aspects of high performance distributed computing. Papers that deal with high-level tools, languages, and environments, as well as novel applications, are of particular interest. Papers receiving the best reviews will also be considered for publication in a special issue of the journal Concurrency: Practice and Experience on high-performance distributed computing.

TOPICS OF INTEREST (include, but are not limited to):

Software environments and language support for high performance distributed computing
Parallel and distributed algorithms to solve computationally intensive problems across a LAN, MAN, or WAN.
High performance I/O and file systems
Fault tolerance
Architectural support for high-speed communications or interconnection networks
Efficient communication interfaces for distributed computing
Gigabit network architectures
Networking for multimedia data
HPDC applications and case studies
