HPCS (High Performance Computing Symposium) is Canada's foremost supercomputing conference, a multidisciplinary conference where computational researchers from all disciplines in industry and academia, computer scientists, and vendors exchange new tools, techniques and interesting results in and for high-performance computational research. The HPCS2010 conference will take place on June 5-9; June 5 and 6 will consist of tutorial workshops covering introductory and advanced tools for high performance computing, and the technical sessions of the symposium will take place June 7-9. Schedule and Workshop information is available on our website,  http://www.hpcs2010.org.

We are seeking abstracts for posters and oral presentations in the following areas, particularly as relating to our main theme, `Data Intensive Computing/Data Intensive Science':

  * Data-Intensive Astronomy/Astrophysics
  * HPC in the Physical Sciences and Industry
  * HPC in Life/Medical/Biological Sciences
  * HPC in the Climate and Earth Sciences
  * Data-intensive Digital Humanities
  * New algorithms for computational research in any discipline
  * Development of novel computational research tools
  * Computer architectures
  * Grid computing
  * Tools for Performance Modeling or Tuning
  * Visualization

Submissions for oral or poster presentations will be eligible for the NVIDIA Best Paper Prize, an NVIDIA Quadro FX 5800. Student submissions for oral or poster presentations will be eligible for the Intel Best Student Paper Prize, a gift card worth $500 CDN.

Submissions for oral presentations are due April 19; submissions should be of the form of extended abstracts (~500-1000 words) with a problem description, methods, conclusions (possibly preliminary), key references, and optionally figures. Submissions will be reviewed by the sessions organizing committee, and notifications of acceptance will go out by May 3. The proceedings will be published in a peer-reviewed, indexed online publication after the conference, with a deadline for final versions of papers for peer review approximately a month after the conference.

Submissions for poster presentations are also due on April 19. These will follow the same procedure as those for papers. Top posters in various categories will have the option to publish in the proceedings.

To submit an abstract for consideration, register at the conference website ( http://www.hpcs2010.org ) and then submit a PDF-formatted extended abstract at http://www.hpcs2010.org/conference/papers.
