ICS-2020: The 34rd ACM International Conference on Supercomputing
Sponsored by ACM/SIGARCH
June 29 - 3 July 2, 2020. Barcelona, Spain
https://ics2020.bsc.es/

* CALL FOR PAPERS
The ACM International Conference on Supercomputing (ICS) is the premier
international forum for the presentation of research results in
high-performance computing systems. The 34th conference (ICS-2020) will be
held in Barcelona, Spain. Papers are solicited on all aspects of research,
development, and application of high-performance and supercomputing
systems, including, but not limited to:

   -- 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 open
   architectures for them.

   -- Programming and execution models for high-performance computing,
   from node to cluster, including new paradigms, and 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 the chip, node and
   cluster-level, up to large-scale computing service infrastructures;
   debugging, fault-tolerance, power/energy and data management.

   -- New computational algorithms and their applications for
   high-performance computing 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.

   -- Algorithms and systems that combine model and learning-based
   approaches, including those that apply learning to drive the
   computational kernels and those that leverage learning to integrate
   large measured datasets with model-based methods.

   -- Performance evaluation and monitoring, and workload characterization;
   empirical studies especially those on new scientific and commercial
   applications that pose significant challenges, and studies of highly
   experimental real systems.

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.

* IMPORTANT DATES (AOE)
  -- Abstract submission: January 24th, 2020 (firm deadline, no extension)
  -- Paper submission: January 31st, 2020 (firm deadline, no extension)
  -- Author rebuttal period: March 18th to March 20th, 2020
  -- Author notification: April 3rd, 2020
  -- Camera-ready: April 30th, 2020

All dates above are AOE (Anywhere on Earth), which means that the
deadlines are at 11:59pm UTC.

The above dates are tentative and subject to change. Consult the
conference website (http://ics2020.bsc.es) for the most up-to-date
scheduling information.

* SUBMISSIONS
Authors will submit papers via the EasyChair conference review software
(https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=3Dics2020).

Please use the standard fonts/formatting in the ACM conference proceedings
template (https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template).
Submissions should be a maximum of ten (10) pages, not including
references.  Submissions (both abstract and paper) should be prepared for
double-blind review, i.e., without author names or other identifying
material. Authors should refer to themselves in the third person when
citing their own work.

Authors may contact only the Program Chairs about submitted papers during
and after the review process. Contacting PC or ERC members about submitted
paper(s) is an ethical violation and may be grounds for summary rejection.
The submission system requests information about the authors. This
information will not be given to the reviewers.

ICS-2020 follows the ACM Author Representations Policy.

* UPON ACCEPTANCE OF YOUR PAPER
Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection on the Decision
Notification Date. At this point, contact authors of accepted papers will
receive instructions on how to prepare and submit a final version by the
Camera-Ready Deadline.

AUTHORS TAKE NOTE: The official publication date is the date the
proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may
be up to two weeks prior to the first day of the conference. The official
publication date may affect the deadline for any patent filings related to
published work. (For those rare conferences whose proceedings are
published in the ACM Digital Library after the conference is over, the
official publication date remains the first day of the conference.)

* YOUR PAPER AT THE CONFERENCE
Authors are required to present their work in a scheduled session with
other ICS-2020 Papers. Papers whose authors are not at the conference to
present their paper may be removed from the ACM Digital Library.
