HPC Asia 2022

Welcome to HPC Asia 2022

High performance computing (HPC) is a key technology to solve large problems in science, engineering, and business by utilizing computing power that has been continuously evolving. The International Conference on High Performance Computing in Asia-Pacific Region (HPC Asia) is an international conference series in the Asia Pacific region on HPC technologies, fostering exchange of ideas, research results and case studies related to all issues of high performance computing.

The 5th edition, HPC Asia 2022 will be held with the motto "Stepping forward to the Post Moore Era together." Although we are now entering the Exascale era, the Post Moore era will soon follow, and HPC Asia 2022 will provide a unique opportunity to discuss the challenges towards the Post Moore era. In addition, we need to pay close attention to the integration of HPC and AI: while the "convergence" of HPC and AI has been broadly discussed, the intensive "integration" of those will be essential towards computing in the Post Moore era.

HPC Asia 2022 Best Student Poster Award in Memory of Hiroshi Nakashima

Professor Hiroshi Nakashima (Kyoto University, Japan) suddenly passed away on October 6, 2021 by a terrible traffic accident. He was a member of the HPC Asia Steering Committee, and his death is a great loss to the HPC community in Japan, Asia and the world. According to his valuable support to the HPC Asia 2022, the organizing committee has decided to bear his name in the Best Student Poster Award of HPC Asia 2022 in recognition of his excellent achievements in research and education in the HPC Community. We would like everybody to respect his achievements and to share loving memories of him.

• Eligibility: a poster presenter who is the first author of the poster and a student in BS, MS, and Ph. D courses.
• Evaluation: member of the award committee will comprehensively evaluate the 1-page extended abstract, the poster draft, the oral presentation in Poster blitz, and the discussion through Poster session core time (both the presented research result and the presentation quality are evaluated; this is not research award but poster presentation award).
• 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Prize (basically one for each prize) are planned.
• Poster program (Day 1)
