-- Important Dates
Abstract deadline: Jul. 8th.
Submission deadline: Jul. 15th
Author's notification: Aug. 19th
Camera ready:  Sep. 2nd
Conference: Oct. 23rd (Wed)  - Oct. 26th (Sat.)

Authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts on
topics from a wide range of high-performance computing areas,
including computer architecture, systems software, languages and
compilers, algorithms, networks, distributed systems and applications.

All manuscripts will be reviewed and judged on correctness,
originality,technical strength, significance, quality of presentation,
interest and relevance to the conference attendees. We also seek to
provide a forum for the early dissemination of original contributions
on emerging topics, such as programming systems and tools for
many-core processors, management software for solid-state storage
systems, all aspects of game consoles, green IT and data-center-scale
computing. Submissions on new topics will be reviewed with the
understanding that they are likely to contain more limited
quantitative evaluations than those on established topics.

Submissions must be in English, 8 pages maximum, following the IEEE
conference formatting guidelines. Authors should notice that SBAC-PAD
is a double-blind review conference, and thus submissions should not
carry any information which could be used to identify its authors.
Authors of selected papers will also be invited to submit extended
versions of their work for possible publication in special issues of
relevant top quality international journals.

SBAC-PAD is an international annual conference, started in 1987. In
each new edition an overview of new developments, applications and
trends in parallel and distributed computing technologies are
presented. The conference is open for faculty members, researches,
specialists and graduate students. With a strong international
participation, the submissions come typically from several countries
around the world.

SBAC-PAD 2013 will be held in Porto de Galinhas, Pernambuco, Brazil.
Located in the northeast of Brazil, this exciting place is one of the
most preferred tourist destinations of Brazil. In Porto you find world
class resorts, beautiful beaches and a nice infrastructure for
conferences.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

Application-specific systems
Benchmarking, performance measurements, and analysis
Cloud, Grid, cluster, and peer-to-peer systems
Embedded and pervasive systems
GPUs, FPGAs and other accelerator architectures
Languages, compilers, and tools for parallel and distributed programming
Modeling and simulation methodology
Operating systems and virtualization
Parallel and distributed systems, algorithms, and applications
Power and energy-efficient systems
Processor, cache, memory, storage, and network architecture
Real-world applications and case studies
Reconfigurable and fault-tolerant systems

********************************************************************************
The hpc-announce mailing list has been setup to have a common mailing
list to share information with respect to upcoming HPC related
events. You are included in this mailing list based on your
participation or interest in a previous HPC conference or other event.

The purpose for providing a single mailing list is to allow
participants to easily identify such emails, and handle them
appropriately. Some options include:

1. If you feel that the number of such emails is too many, filter them
to less-frequently-read folders in your email client.

2. Change your subscription to a digest option
(https://lists.mcs.anl.gov/mailman/listinfo/hpc-announce) which will
consolidate emails sent that week into a single summary email.

3. Finally, if you do not wish to receive any emails from hpc-announce,
you can unsubscribe from the mailing list
(https://lists.mcs.anl.gov/mailman/listinfo/hpc-announce). Once
unsubscribed, we guarantee that you will not be added back in through
participation in a different HPC related conference or event. You will
need to send an email to hpc-announce-owner at mcs.anl.gov to be added
back on.

If you need help with any of the above, please email us at
hpc-announce-owner at mcs.anl.gov.
