                              Call for Papers

           ICS 2017: International Conference on Supercomputing
                     June 14-16, Chicago, USA
                     Sponsored by ACM/SIGARCH
                     http://press3.mcs.anl.gov/ics2017/

ICS is the premier international forum for the presentation of
research results in high-performance computing. The 2017 conference
will be held in Chicago, United States.

Papers are solicited on all aspects of research, development, and
application of high-performance computing systems, including but not
limited to the following:

  -- Computer architecture and hardware, including multicore, manycore
     and multiprocessor systems from small to very large scales,
     components in such systems such as accelerators, memory systems,
     storage architectures, interconnection networks at various levels,
     and heterogeneous systems;

  -- Programming and execution models for high-performance computing,
     including new paradigms, languages, task creation and
     specification models, domain-specific language/programming
     support;

  -- Static and dynamic compilation: optimization techniques to exploit
     all aspects of high performance architectures and auto-tuning
     techniques;

  -- Runtime and system software support for high-performance
     computing, including task and resource management at chip-level,
     cluster-level, up to the level of large-scale academic/commercial
     computing service infrastructure, debugging, fault-tolerance,
     power/energy management, file systems, and performance
     evaluation/monitoring;

  -- New computational algorithms and their applications for high
     performance computing systems;

  -- Workload characterization empirical studies especially those on
     new scientific and commercial applications that pose significant
     challenges, and studies of highly experimental real systems;

  -- Data intensive high performance computing: system support,
     algorithm design and application development for high performance
     computing that deal with large-scale collected data sets.

The review process will include a rebuttal period, and the papers will
be judged based on novelty, technical soundness, and potential impact
on the field.

up-to-date scheduling information.

    Paper submissions:
    ------------------

Papers are submitted at Easychair 
(https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ics20170) which is also 
accessible from the  ICS'17 home page
(http://press3.mcs.anl.gov/ics2017/). Use the ACM SIG Proceedings Alternate
style. Extensive documentation can be found at the ACM site. Submissions 
should
be a maximum of ten (10) pages, including references.

Submissions (both abstract and paper) should be prepared for double
blind review, i.e., without author names, or other identifying
material in the submission. Authors should refer to themselves in the
3rd person when citing their own work.The submission system requests
information about the authors. This information will not be given to
the reviewers.
