High Performance Scientific Computation with Applications
(HPSCA)
June 28 - July 1, 1999, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
This is a technical session organized by Jun Zhang at
The 1999 International Conference on Parallel and
Distributed Processing Techniques and Applications,
to be held in Las Vegas, Nevada, June 28 - July 1, 1999.
Today's scientific and engineering problems demand computational
power that is far beyond that can be provided by conventional
computers. Large scale numerical simulations require high
performance computation. Here the high performance computation
is meant in its broadest sense, i.e., any computation that
utilizes special architectures and power of the high
performance computers is considered as high performance
computation.
Scientific computations has been one of the most important components
of high performance computation. It is the initial and continuous
driving force behind the development of high performance
computers.
The goal of this session is to bring together researchers in
various areas of high performance scientific computation and
applications to exchange ideas and communicate new
developments.
The HPSCA session focuses on high performance
and large scale
numerical computation techniques and applications.
Anything that is related to this topic is relevant.
Please e-mail Jun Zhang at jzhang@cs.uky.edu if you
are interested in presenting a paper at the High
Performance Scientific Computation with Applications
Session.
Important Dates:
- April 2, 1999: Final day for the organizers to
submit the speaker list
- April 15, 1999: 7 page paper due
- May 1, 1999: Camera-ready papers (7 pages) and preregistration
fee due
- June 28 - July 1, 1999: PDPTA'99 Conference.
Please note that the draft and the final papers should be e-mailed
to the session organizer: Jun Zhang at jzhang@cs.uky.edu. In case
an e-mail submission is inconvenient, please fax your paper at:
(606) 323-1971, or mail a hard copy to:

Due to time constraints, the session organizer did not apply for financial
support from any agency. As a result, the HPSCA session is unable to
provide any travel support to any speakers. I am very sorry for this
situation and I promise to do a better job next year.
