The organizing committee of the NPC 2021 has decided to run the conference as a hybrid event, allowing in-person and remote participation.
NPC 21’s proceedings with Springer LNCS are now available!
High-Performance Computing and Big Data are two main areas where NPC 2021 will provide a dynamic forum to explore, discuss and debate state-of-the-art technology issues and challenges. High-performance computers and big-data systems are tied inextricably to the broader computing ecosystem and its designs and market adoption.
We strongly believe that the stakes are high and are far beyond the boundaries of nations and continents.
We invite all researchers around the world to submit papers to NPC 2021.
We share the view that, during the past decade, the tools and cultures of high-performance computing and big data analytics are diverging to the detriment of both, and the international community should find a unified path that can best serve the needs of a broad spectrum of major application areas. Unlike other tools, which are limited to particular scientific domains, computational modeling and data analytics are applicable to all areas of science and engineering, as they breathe life into the underlying mathematics of scientific models.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Parallel and distributed applications and algorithms
- Parallel and distributed issues and opportunities on artificial intelligence applications.
- Parallel algorithms for computational and data-enabled scientific, engineering, biological and medical applications.
