HiPC 2018 - 25th IEEE International Conference on High Performance Computing, Data, and Analytics (HiPC 2018)

2018 marks the Silver Anniversary of HiPC as we broaden the technical program to specifically include topics related to data science. The conference has a history of attracting participation from reputed researchers from all over the world and receives strong industry support from companies operating globally and also established in India. In addition to the two days of industry exhibits, the sponsoring partners to the conference hold industry symposiums to bring together providers and users of HPC in a forum for presenting state-of-the-art in HPC platforms and technologies, for discussing best practices, and for exchanging experiences. In the last couple years, HiPC has added workshops to its technical program and along with a Student Research Symposium and academic Birds-of-a-Feather sessions, and the conference makes room for a broad list of topics to be addressed by these events including:
