This is the seventh annual international meeting on high performance computing organized in India. It will serve as a forum to present current work by researchers from around the world as well as high- light activities in Asia in the high performance computing area. The confe- rence has a history of attracting participation from reputed researchers from all over the world. The sixth meeting held in Calcutta, India, in 1999 had 60 contributed papers that were selected from submissions from 12 countries, and additional special sessions. Approximately 200 participants attended the meeting. The conference had tutorials on cutting edge topics in high performance computing and related areas by leading researchers from academia and industry. Please refer to the web site http://www.hipc.org for more information on previous meetings. Bangalore, a bustling metropolis, is the fifth largest city in India and the capital of the state of Karnataka. It is the main centre of the Information Technology industry in India; literally every Indian and multi-national IT company has a presence here. Bangalore is home to the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), a premier research institute, and many other aerospace and high technology industries including the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing. The state of Karnataka boasts of many ancient Indian architectural marvels, wildlife sanctuaries, rain forests (the Western Ghats), pristine beaches, and rich and hoary cultural traditions. HiPC 2000 will emphasize the design and analysis of high performance computing and networking systems and their scientific, engineering, and commercial applications. In addition to technical sessions of contributed paper presenta- tions, the conference will offer invited presentations, a poster/presentation session, tutorials, vendor presentations, and exhibits. Six special sessions on cutting-edge research topics are being organized. > COSPONSORED BY Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Parallel Processing ACM SIGARCH HELD IN COOPERATION WITH Indian Institutes of Technology Software Technology Parks of India Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, India Supercomputer Education and Research Centre, India Centre for Artificial Intelligence Research(CAIR), India Centre for Development of Advanced Computing(C-DAC), India CSIR Centre for Mathematical Modeling and Computer Simulation, India IEEE India Council MEETING INFORMATION The advance program will be available in July 2000.
