Program Agenda
HPDC will be hosting a virtual conference this year. The conference features a live welcome and introduction at the start of the conference on 10:00 AM EDT, June 23rd, 2020. This introduction includes a welcome by the general co-chairs and the technical program co-chairs that summarizes the program, as well as a one-minute madness session that provides a preview of every paper in the conference. Keynote talks and papers have been pre-recorded by speakers and posted on the web (linked below). Full paper talks are 25 minutes and short paper talks are 10 minutes. Each paper speaker will host a live interactive Q&A session via Slack over the course of the conference to answer questions about their work. All of the times listed below are EDT! We are looking forward to interacting with everyone virtually at the conference!
HPDC’20: Proceedings of the 29th International Symposium on High-Performance Parallel and Distributed Computing is now available on the ACM Digital Library!!
