DESCRIPTION OF CONFERENCE PROGRAM HiPC 2018 is the 25th edition of the IEEE
Conference on High Performance Computing, Data, and Analytics. It serves as
a forum to present current work by top researchers in the field and to
highlight the activities in Asia in the area of high performance computing
and related scientific, engineering, and commercial applications. To mark
the 25th anniversary of HiPC, a special lecture and several celebratory
events are planned. TECHNICAL SESSIONS Thirty-three papers out of 149
submissions have been accepted for presentation at the conference (22%
acceptance rate). The papers were submitted either to HPC tracks
(Algorithms, Applications, Architecture and Software) or to Data Science
tracks (Big Data Algorithms and Analytics, Big Data Systems and Software).
Accepted papers will be presented in six technical sessions on days 2, 3
and 4: Learning, Graph Algorithms, GPUs, Linear Algebra and Fault
Tolerance, Algorithms and Data Analysis, and Applications and System Tools.
