Reinventing HPC

ISC 2019 CALLS FOR RESEARCH PAPER SUBMISSION BY WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 12

FRANKFURT, Germany, October 1, 2018 – Submissions are now open for the ISC High Performance (ISC 2019) Research Paper Sessions. These sessions aim to provide first-class opportunities for engineers and scientists in academia, industry, and government to present their work in the area of high performance computing, networking, storage and AI/machine learning. Submissions will be accepted through December 12.

The Research Paper Sessions will be held from Monday, June 17 through Wednesday, June 19, 2019 at the conference, which will be held in Frankfurt, Germany. Next year’s conference expects over 3,500 international attendees and 160 exhibitors.

All submitted research papers will be peer-reviewed double-blind by at least four reviewers. The 2019 Research Papers Committee is headed by Dr.-Ing. Carsten Trinitis, TU Munich, as Chair and Saday Sadayappan, Ohio State University, as Deputy Chair, along with Dr. Michèle Weiland, EPCC, as Proceedings Chair and Guido Juckeland, Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf, as Proceedings Deputy Chair.

The ISC organizers will grant a 100 percent discount on the conference day pass to one presenter per paper for the day of their presentation. Two prestigious awards, the ISC-sponsored Hans Meuer Award and the German Gauss Center for Supercomputing GAUSS Award await the two best submissions.
