New Orleans Convention Center

New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center

In November of 2014, the Supercomputing Conference is going back to New Orleans with new ideas and a fresh take on HPC. Spotlighting the most original and fascinating scientific and technical applications from around the world, SC14 will once again bring together the HPC community for an exceptional program of technical papers, tutorials, timely research posters, and Birds-of-a-Feather (BOF) sessions.

The SC14 Tech Program, Showcasing Our HPC Accomplishments

Jack Dongarra"SC plays an important role in the high-performance community. It is through the SC conference that HPC practitioners get an overview of the field, get to showcase our important work, and network with the community. This year I'm happy have the chance to work as the Technical Program Chair with Michela Taufer from the University of Delaware as my Co-Chair, and Bruce Loftis from the University of Colorado, Boulder as my Chair Assistant.

I would like to extend an invitation to everyone in the HPC community to join us for this year's Technical Program. As we approach our deadlines in the next few days for invited talks, panels, research papers, tutorials, workshops, posters, and Birds-of-a-Feather sessions, I strongly encourage everyone to join us in celebrating and sharing everything that is HPC. SC14's Technical Program will continue to have HPC's most informative, exciting, and stimulating events of the year."

Fast Approaching! Only One Day Left to Submit Technical Paper Abstracts: Due April 4

The Technical Papers Program at SC is the leading venue for presenting the highest quality original research, from the foundations of HPC to its emerging frontiers. The SC Papers Committee is soliciting submissions that introduce new ideas to the field and stimulate future trends in eight areas: Algorithms; Applications; Architectures and Networks; Clouds and Distributed Computing; Data Analytics, Visualization and Storage; Performance; Programming Systems; and, System Software. SC also welcomes submissions that make significant contributions to the "state-of-the-practice" by providing compelling insights on best-practices for provisioning, using and enhancing high-performance computing systems, services, and facilities.

PLEASE NOTE: An abstract submission is required in order to submit a full paper.

SC follows a two-part submission process, with abstracts due by April 4, 2014 and full papers by April 11, 2014. **For all papers, all authors who submit an abstract by the abstract deadline will be granted an automatic extension of up to one week (168 hours) without making a special request-no further extensions will be granted.**

Abstracts and papers must be submitted electronically at https://submissions.supercomputing.org/. A sample submission form is also available at that site (click on the tab "Sample Submission Forms" at the login page).

Abstracts due: April 4, 2014 (required)
Full Papers due on April 11, 2014

Tutorials Submissions Deadline Extended to April 7!

The SC Tutorials Committee encourages proposals for full day (six hours) or half-day (three hours) tutorials with broad applicability and of interest to the HPC community and the SC14 attendees. The SC Tutorials Program is one of the highlights of the SC Conference series, and it is one of the largest tutorial programs and will continue the tradition of offering a high-quality tutorial program providing attendees the opportunity to learn from, and to interact with, internationally recognized experts.

Submissions due: April 7, 2014

Panel Submissions Due April 25

Panels at SC14 are among the most important and heavily attended events of SC. Panels bring together the key thinkers and producers in the field to consider in a lively and rapid-fire context some of the key questions challenging high performance computing, networking, storage and associated analysis technologies for the foreseeable future.

Panels can explore topics in-depth by capturing the opinions of a wide range of people active in the relevant fields. Panels represent state-of-the-art opinions, and can be augmented with social media technologies including Twitter, LinkedIn, and video feeds-even real-time audience polling.

Submissions due: April 25, 2014
