Submissions on other innovative aspects of high performance computing are also welcome.

Full papers should be submitted via the EasyChair conference system by January 9, 2011. 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. By submitting a paper, you agree to present the paper at ISC’11 in Hamburg, Germany; presenters need to be registered ISC’11 participants.

Proceedings

A maximum of 24 accepted papers will be published in a special edition of “Computer Science ? Research and Development”, Springer Verlag, Germany, which will be available at ISC’11 from June 20 on.

For details on the author guidelines, please refer to Springer’s website. Please use Springer's two-column LaTeX style so that the page limitation of eight pages can be checked (see "Instructions for Authors" ) "Text" ) "Text Formatting" on Springer's website for details).

The 2011 International Supercomputing Conference in Hamburg today witnessed a new king of supercomputers take the crown as the world’s most powerful. Fujitsu’s supercomputer, named simply ‘K,’ took the top title, blowing away the second place Tianhe computer from China that was the previous champ.

The Japanese computer’s name comes from the word ‘Kei,’ (10 peta or 10^16) which is a reference to the intended goal of 10 petaflops. And besides being the most powerful of all computers on the list, it is reportedly also one of the most energy efficient.

The competition requires the computers to run a mathematical equation, and according to a New York Times report K proved capable of doing 8.2 quadrillion calculations per second (8.2 petaflops).
