<p>The organizing committee is delighted to invite you to <strong>HPDC'12</strong>,
the <i>21st International ACM Symposium on High-Performance
Parallel and Distributed Computing</i>, to be held in <strong>Delft,
the Netherlands</strong>, which is a historic, picturesque city
that is less than one hour away from Amsterdam-Schiphol airport.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.hpdc.org">HPDC</a> is the premier annual
conference on the design, the implementation, the evaluation, and
the use of parallel and distributed systems for high-end
computing. HPDC is sponsored by SIGARCH, the <a
href="http://www.sigarch.org">Special Interest Group on Computer
Architecture</a> of the <a href="http://www.acm.org">Association
for Computing Machinery</a>.</p>
<p><strong>HPDC'12</strong> will be held at <a
href="http://www.tudelft.nl">Delft University of Technology</a>,
with the main conference taking place on <strong>June 20-22</strong>
(Wednesday to Friday 1 PM), and with affiliated workshops on <strong>June
18-19</strong> (Monday and Tuesday).<br>
</p>
