Authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts on
topics from a wide range of high-performance computing areas,
including computer architecture, systems software, languages and
compilers, algorithms, networks, distributed systems and applications.

All manuscripts will be reviewed and judged on correctness,
originality,technical strength, significance, quality of presentation,
interest and relevance to the conference attendees. We also seek to
provide a forum for the early dissemination of original contributions
on emerging topics, such as programming systems and tools for
many-core processors, management software for solid-state storage
systems, all aspects of game consoles, green IT and data-center-scale
computing. Submissions on new topics will be reviewed with the
understanding that they are likely to contain more limited
quantitative evaluations than those on established topics.

Submissions must be in English, 8 pages maximum, following the IEEE
conference formatting guidelines. Authors should notice that SBAC-PAD
is a double-blind review conference, and thus submissions should not
carry any information which could be used to identify its authors.
Authors of selected papers will also be invited to submit extended
versions of their work for possible publication in special issues of
relevant top quality international journals.

SBAC-PAD is an international annual conference, started in 1987. In
each new edition an overview of new developments, applications and
trends in parallel and distributed computing technologies are
presented. The conference is open for faculty members, researches,
specialists and graduate students. With a strong international
participation, the submissions come typically from several countries
around the world.

SBAC-PAD 2013 will be held in Porto de Galinhas, Pernambuco, Brazil.
Located in the northeast of Brazil, this exciting place is one of the
most preferred tourist destinations of Brazil. In Porto you find world
class resorts, beautiful beaches and a nice infrastructure for
conferences.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

Application-specific systems
Benchmarking, performance measurements, and analysis
Cloud, Grid, cluster, and peer-to-peer systems
Embedded and pervasive systems
GPUs, FPGAs and other accelerator architectures
Languages, compilers, and tools for parallel and distributed programming
Modeling and simulation methodology
Operating systems and virtualization
Parallel and distributed systems, algorithms, and applications
Power and energy-efficient systems
Processor, cache, memory, storage, and network architecture
Real-world applications and case studies
Reconfigurable and fault-tolerant systems
