High-Performance Graphics is the leading international forum for performance-oriented graphics and imaging systems research including innovative algorithms, efficient implementations, languages, compilers, parallelism, and hardware architectures for high-performance graphics. The conference brings together researchers, engineers, and architects to discuss the complex interactions of parallel hardware, novel programming models, and efficient algorithms in the design of systems for current and future graphics and visual computing applications.</span></div>

The goal of the short papers track is to present early, experimental research to the community. Smaller contributions, ongoing work with early results, implementation notes, and proofs of concept are all candidates for submission to this track. A short paper is also a great venue for sharing negative results — promising ideas that did not work out in practice. We will include accepted short papers in our proceedings, but with the intention that their publication at HPG does not preclude future submissions, suitably extended to full papers, to HPG and other conferences or journals. Also, all accepted short papers will receive talk slots at the conference.</span></p>

Short papers will be held to a less strict standard of citation. The papers committee will automatically consider all rejected full papers for the short papers track, and all rejected papers may be considered as posters.</span></p>
