　 ================================================
　　　　Eighth IEEE Workshop on　High-Performance, Power-Aware Computing (HP-PAC)
　　　May 21, 2012
　to be held in conjunction with IPDPS
　May 21 - 25, 2012
　Shanghai, China
　 ================================================

SCOPE
-----
　High-performance computing is and has always been performance-oriented.
　However, a consequence of the push towards maximum performance is
　increased energy consumption, especially in datacenters and
　supercomputing centers.　Moreover, as peak performance is rarely
　attained, some of this energy consumption results in little or no
　performance gain.　In addition, large energy consumption costs
　datacenters and supercomputing centers a significant amount of
　money and wastes natural resources.

　The main goal of this workshop is to provide a timely forum for the
　exchange and dissemination of new ideas, techniques, and research in
　high-performance, power-aware computing (HPPAC).　HPPAC will present
　research that reduces (1) power consumption, (2) energy consumption,
　or (3) heat generation with little or no performance penalty in
　high-performance computing systems.　In effect, the workshop aims to
　move towards "greener" solutions for datacenters and supercomputing
　centers.

　Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following.

　. Novel power-aware architectures for HPC
　. Power-aware middleware for HPC
　. Power-aware runtime systems for HPC
　. Reduced power/energy/heat algorithms & applications
　. Surveys or studies of power/energy/heat usage of HPC applications
and systems

PROCEEDINGS
-----------

　The proceedings of this workshop will be published together with
　the proceedings of other IPDPS '10 workshops by the IEEE Computer
　Society Press.

PAPER SUBMISSIONS
