The conference has a history of attracting participation from reputed researchers from all over the world. The 15th HiPC Conference held in Bangalore, India, in December 2008, had 46 contributed papers chosen from 317 submissions from 27 countries. The conference included technical paper sessions, keynotes from leading HPC researchers, a poster paper session, an exhibition, an industry session with presentations from leading HPC companies, a HPC user community meeting, tutorials on hot topics in computing and networking, and several workshops focused on emerging areas. The 14th HiPC Conference, held in Goa, India, in December 2007, had 52 contributed papers that were selected from over 253 submissions from 31 countries and approximately 300 participants attended the meeting, and 13th HiPC Conference held in Bangalore, India, in December 2006, had 52 contributed papers that were selected from over 335 submissions from 40 countries. The HiPC attendance is approximately 300 with a good mix of participants from India and the rest of the world. Further information about HiPC 2009 and the HiPC series of meetings is available on the conference website at http://www.hipc.org. HiPC 2009 will focus on the design and analysis of high performance computing and networking systems and their scientific, engineering, and commercial applications. In addition to technical sessions consisting of contributed papers, the conference will include invited presentations, a poster session, tutorials, and vendor presentations.
