Research Thrust: 50k+

The increasing number of processing elements is challenging for application developers -- in order to achieve a high scalability of the massively parallel systems, codes must be designed carefully. This year, we encourage scientists to submit results which demonstrate scaling of an application on more than 50,000 cores. Results with GPGPU applications can be submitted as well, "cores" may be CPU or GPGPU cores or any combination of them. Submitted papers should include the problem description, the parallelization approaches and benchmarks proving high scalability and efficiency of the application. We hope to encourage developers of different fields of science to submit and present their research in the conference.

Awards

Two awards are given to outstanding papers. The German Gauss Center for Supercomputing sponsors the Gauss Award, which will be assigned to the most outstanding paper in the field of scalable supercomputing.

PRACE, the Partnership for Advanced Computing will award the PRACE Award to the best scientific paper by a European student or scientist in the following areas:

A breakthrough in science achieved with high performance computing resources.

Algorithms or implementations that achieve significant improvements in scalability.

Novel approaches to performance evaluation on massively parallel architectures.

The PRACE Award will be given to a paper submitted to ISC'12 or submitted to the PRACE Day.

Submission

Full papers should be submitted via the EasyChair conference system by Sunday, January 22, 2012. We only accept submissions in PDF format which are correctly formatted using the Springer LaTeX style and do not exceed 8 pages. Incorrectly formatted papers will be excluded from the reviewing process. Papers will be peer-reviewed by three reviewers and will be evaluated based on their novelty, fundamental insights and potential for long-term contribution. For details on the author guidelines, please refer to Springer’s website. Please use Springer's two-column LaTeX macro package and choose the formatting option “twocolumn”.

By submitting a paper, you agree to present the paper at ISC'12 in Hamburg, Germany; presenters need to be registered ISC'12 participants.
