CALL FOR EXTENDED ABSTRACTS
*** 4th HiPC Student Research Symposium (SRS) ***
Held in conjunction with the
18th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTING (HIPC 2011)
December 19-22, 2011 | Bengaluru (Bangalore), INDIA | 
www.hipc.org=======================================================================
OVERVIEW
The Student Research Symposium (SRS) at HiPC is organized to stimulate and 
foster student engagement in high performance computing research, and to provide
an international forum to highlight student research accomplishments in HPC.
The symposium will also expose students to the latest research and best 
practices in the HPC community from academia and industry. 
HiPC SRS 2010 featured 17 papers and 9 posters, which were accepted from 38 
submissions from five countries. Besides brief presentations and poster 
exhibit by student authors, the one-day symposium this year will feature 
invited talks by leading HPC researchers/practitioners. The HiPC conference 
reception will provide an opportunity for students to interact with HPC 
researchers and practitioners (and recruiters) from academia and industry.
TOPICS
We invite submission of extended research abstracts of 5 pages for the HiPC 
SRS. All topics relevant to the HiPC conference are of interest to this 
symposium. These include, but are not limited to:
* High-Performance Computing
* Parallel and Distributed Algorithms
* Parallel Languages and Programming Environments
* Load Balancing, Scheduling and Resource Management
* Resilient/Fault-Tolerant Algorithms and Systems
* Scientific/Engineering/Commercial Applications and Workloads
* Emerging Applications such as Biotechnology and Nanotechnology
* Cluster, Cloud, and Grid Cloud Computing
* Peer-to-peer Algorithms and Networks
* Heterogeneous Computing
* Interconnection Networks and Architectures
* Scalable Servers and Systems
* High Performance/Scalable Storage Systems
* Power-Efficient and Reconfigurable Architectures
* Compiler Technologies for High-Performance Computing
* Software Support and Advanced Micro-architecture Techniques
* Operating Systems for Scalable High-Performance Computing

ABSTRACT SUBMISSION
The extended abstracts should be submitted in PDF format. The document should 
be at most 5 letter size (8.5in x 11in) pages in 11 pt or 12 pt font, single 
spaced, with at least one-inch margins on all sides. Please identify the names
of student authors in a footnote. If some part of your submission was published 
by you previously, then you should cite your prior work and indicate how the 
current submission differs from it.
Submissions will be handled electronically through EDAS at 
The selected extended abstracts will be published online on the conference web 
site and on a CD to be distributed at the conference. They will not be part of 
the official HiPC conference proceedings.
Selection will be competitive and all submissions will be reviewed. 
Manuscripts will be judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, 
significance, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the
conference attendees.

ELIGIBILITY
The research work presented in the submission should primarily be the result of 
student research. Accepted papers and posters should be presented by a student 
author. The student author should have been a full-time student at some point 
in 2011. Non-student co-authors are permitted.
AWARDS AND SCHOLARSHIPS
Awards for Best Poster and Best Presentation, sponsored by the IEEE Technical 
Committee on Parallel Processing (TCPP) will be selected by a separate awards 
committee. These are expected to include a cash component of Rs.10,000 each.
Limited scholarships in the form of travel grants to cover part or all of 
travel, boarding and registration are available to authors of accepted 
papers. Student authors of the top few submissions at the symposium will be 
assured of a travel scholarship.
A book containing the resumes of the students participating in the symposium 
will be compiled and made available to the sponsors of the HiPC 2011 
conference.
