SBAC-PAD is an annual international conference series, which presents
the latest trends, current research and developments, and novel tools
and applications in the fields of Computer Architecture,
High-Performance Computing, and Parallel and Distributed Computing
technologies. SBAC-PAD is open to industry, faculty, researchers,
practitioners, and undergraduate and graduate students from around the
world. Its scientific program is composed of high-quality submitted
papers, selected by a thorough peer review process, and invited talks
from renowned researchers.

Important dates

Abstract submission deadline:
June 9th, 2025 (AoE)

Paper submission deadline:
June 16th, 2025 (AoE)

Rebuttal period:
July 31st – August 4th, 2025

Author notification:
August 11th, 2025

Camera-ready submission:
September 8th, 2025

Authors are invited to submit original manuscripts to one of five
tracks that address challenges in any of the following areas related
to the fields of Computer Architecture (CA) and High-performance and
Distributed Computing (HPDC). Topics of interest include (but are not
limited to):

- Application-specific systems;
- Architecture and programming support for emerging domains: (Big
Data, Deep Learning, Machine learning, Cognitive Systems);
- Artificial intelligence and machine learning methods for CA and
HPDC, and CA and HPDC for Artificial intelligence applications;
- Benchmarking, performance modeling, analysis, and evaluation;
- Blockchain and distributed ledgers
- Cloud, cluster, and edge/fog computing systems;
- Data-intensive workloads and tools;
- Data management, storage, and I/O;
- Embedded and pervasive systems;
- GPUs, FPGAs, and accelerator architectures;
- Languages, compilers, models and tools for parallel and distributed
programming;
- Modeling and simulation methodologies;
- Operating systems and virtualization;
- Parallel and distributed systems, algorithms, models, and applications;
- Power and energy-efficient systems;
- Predictive models to improve performance of scientific applications
- Processing-in-memory or near-data processing technologies
- Processor, cache, memory, storage, and network architecture;
- Real-world applications and case studies;
- Reconfigurable, resilient, and fault-tolerant systems;
- Security and privacy in CA and HPDC;
- Workflow systems.

The program committee will select the top-ranked papers as finalists,
and one paper will be selected during the conference as the Best
Paper. Selected papers will also be invited to submit an extended
version to a special issue of the Journal of Parallel and Distributed
Computing - JPDC  (pending approval).

Paper submission

Papers submitted to SBAC-PAD 2025 must present original research
results and must not have been published or concurrently be submitted
anywhere else. Submissions should be made via the JEMS system
(submission link TBD).

Paper submissions must be in English, have 10 pages maximum (excluding
the references),  and follow the IEEE conference manuscript formatting
guidelines for double-column text using a single-spaced 10-point font
on 8.5 × 11-inch pages. Templates are available
fromhttp://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html. Papers
that do not meet these requirements might be rejected without a
review. To be published in the conference proceedings and to be
eligible for publication at the IEEE Xplore, one of the authors must
register at the full rate and present his/her work at the conference.

The SBAC-PAD 2025 submissions will undergo a double-anonymized review
process, where reviewers will not know the authors' identities, and
vice-versa. Therefore, authors should “anonymize” their submission by
adopting the following guidelines, otherwise papers will be rejected
without review:

- Authors cannot include their names, affiliations, funding sources,
or acknowledgments in any part of the for-review version of their
paper;
- Self-references that are relevant to the work are allowed, but they
should not appear in the text in the first person. Instead, they
should be referenced in the third person, like “Smith et al. found
that… [4].”, and;
- For the authors’ own unpublished work use anonymous citations.
