SBAC-PAD 2008

SBAC-PAD is an annual international conference series, the first of which was held 21 years ago, in 1987. Each conference has traditionally presented new developments and high performance computing, as well as the latest trends in computer architecture. The conference has strong international participation, with submissions from over dozen countries, and is quite competitive, with around 100 submissions and a 30% acceptance rate in the latest years (see http://www.sbc.org.br/sbac/ for program of previous years).

In 2008, the symposium will be held in the beautiful Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. SBAC-PAD 2008 is sponsored by the SBC (Brazilian Computer Society), the IFIP (International Federation for Information Processing), and the IEEE Computer Society through the Technical Committees on Computer Architecture (TCCA) and Scalable Computing (TCSC).

Authors are invited to submit their manuscripts that present original unpublished research in all aspects of high performance computing and computer architecture, and their applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Application-specific Architectures * Benchmarking, Performance Measurements and Analysis * Cache and Memory Architectures * Embedded Systems * Fault-Tolerant Architectures and Systems * Grid, Cluster, and Peer-to-Peer Computing * High Performance Applications and Parallel and Distributed Algorithms * Interconnection Networks, Routing, and Communication * Languages, Compilers and Tools for Parallel and Distributed Programming * Load Balancing and Scheduling * Microarchitecture * Operating Systems and Virtualization * Parallel and Distributed Architectures * Pervasive and Heterogeneous Computing * Real World Applications and Case Studies * Reconfigurable Systems

Paper submission must be performed on-line at http://www.sbc.org.br/sbac/2008. The deadline is May 19, 2008.

The authors of the best selected papers will also be invited to submit extended versions of their work for possible publication in a special issue of the International Journal of Parallel Programming.
