Overview The SC Papers program is the leading venue for presenting high-quality original research, groundbreaking ideas, and compelling insights on future trends in high performance computing, networking, storage, and analysis. Technical papers are peer-reviewed and an Artifact Description is mandatory for all papers submitted to SC. Areas/Tracks Submissions will be considered on any topic related to high performance computing within the areas below. Authors must indicate a primary area from the choices on the submissions form and are strongly encouraged to indicate a secondary area. Small-scale studies – including single-node studies – are welcome as long as the paper clearly conveys the work’s contribution to high performance computing. Algorithms The development, evaluation, and optimization of scalable, general-purpose, high performance algorithms. Applications The development and enhancement of algorithms, parallel implementations, models, software and problem solving environments for specific applications that require high performance resources.
