CALL FOR PAPERS SBAC-PAD 2019
International Symposium on Computer Architecture and High Performance Computing
Campo Grande, Brazil
October 15-18, 2019

SBAC-PAD is an annual international conference series, the first of
which was held in 1987. Each conference has traditionally presented
new developments in high performance applications, as well as the
latest trends in computer architecture and parallel and distributed
technologies. The conference has strong international participation,
with submissions typically coming from over a dozen countries. The
selection process is competitive, with acceptance rate below 30% in
recent years. More information about the conference can be found at
www.sbc.org.br/sbacpad2019

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

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
  Application-specific systems
  Architecture and Programming Support for Emerging Domains (Big Data,
Deep Learning)
  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, resilient and fault-tolerant systems

Submissions must be in English, 8 pages maximum, following the IEEE
conference formatting guidelines. To be published in the SBAC-PAD 2019
Conference Proceedings and to be eligible for publication at the IEEE
Xplore (pending), one of the authors must register at the full rate.
Authors may not use a single registration for multiple papers. Authors
of selected papers will be invited to submit extended versions of
their papers for publication on the Journal of Parallel and
Distributed Computing (pending).

Paper submission will be done through EasyChair.
