The 2012 Spring Simulation Multi-conference will feature the 20th High Performance Computing Symposium (HPC 2012), devoted to the impact of high performance computing and communications on computer simulations. Topics of interest include:

• high performance/large scale application case studies,
• GPUs for general purpose computations (GPGPU)
• multicore and many-core computing,
• power aware computing,
• large scale visualization and data management,
• tools and environments for coupling parallel codes,
• parallel algorithms and architectures,
• high performance software tools,
• component technologies for high performance computing.

Important dates: Paper submission due: December 2, 2011; Notification of acceptance: January 13, 2012; Revised manuscript due: January 27, 2012; Symposium: March 26–29, 2012.
