ACM SIGHPC is the Association for Computing Machinery 's Special Interest Group on High Performance Computing , an international community of students, faculty, researchers, and practitioners working on research and in professional practice related to supercomputing , high-end computers , and cluster computing . The organization co-sponsors international conferences related to high performance and scientific computing, including: SC, the International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis ; the Platform for Advanced Scientific Computing (PASC) Conference; Practice and Experience in Advanced Research Computing (PEARC); and PPoPP, the Symposium on Principles and Practice of Parallel Programming .
9-521: ACM SIGHPC was founded on November 1, 2011, with the support of ACM SIGARCH . The first chair was Cherri Pancake , who was also the 1999 ACM/IEEE Supercomputing Conference chair. During its formation, the SIG was led by a set of volunteer officers: These officers were replaced by the first elected slate of officers in July 2013, with subsequent elections scheduled every three years. In addition to elected officers,
18-662: A SIG), with Michael J. Flynn as the founding chairman. Flynn was also the founding chairman of IEEE Computer Society 's TCCA and encouraged from the beginning, joint cooperation between the two groups. Many of the joint symposiums and conferences are the leading events in the field. ACM SIGARCH Computer Architecture News is a newsletter, started in January 1972, that publishes refereed articles about computer hardware and its interactions with compilers and operating systems . ACM SIGARCH sponsors many top international conferences related to computer architecture. SIGARCH offers
27-642: A geographic region or by a technical topic area. Chapter activities vary, but may include physical meetings, webinars, and workshops. SIGHPC currently supports the following chapters: ACM SIGARCH ACM SIGARCH is the Association for Computing Machinery 's Special Interest Group on computer architecture , a community of computer professionals and students from academia and industry involved in research and professional practice related to computer architecture and design. The organization sponsors many prestigious international conferences in this area, including
36-558: Is open to students studying anywhere in the world who have completed a PhD dissertation with HPC as a central research theme. The SIG also sponsors the Emerging Woman Leader in Technical Computing Award. This award is offered once every two years and recognizes a woman in high performance and technical computing during the important middle years of their career for their work in research, education, and/or practice over
45-526: The International Symposium on Computer Architecture (ISCA), recognized as the top conference in this area since 1975. Together with IEEE Computer Society 's Technical Committee on Computer Architecture (TCCA), it is one of the two main professional organizations for people working in computer architecture. ACM SIGARCH was formed in August 1971, initially as a Special Interest Committee (a precursor to
54-434: The SIG is supported by a variety of appointed volunteer leaders who are responsible for membership coordination, creating the newsletter, and other duties needed to operate the SIG; the roles vary as the needs of the SIG change over time. These volunteer leaders are appointed by the SIG chair. ACM SIGHPC co-sponsors the following international conferences related to high performance computing: In addition, ACM SIGHPC supports
63-407: The five to fifteen years after completing her last academic degree. The ACM SIGHPC Computational and Data Science Fellowships are part of a multi-year program to increase the diversity of students pursuing graduate degrees in data science and computational science. Specifically targeted at women or students from racial/ethnic backgrounds that have not traditionally participated in the computing field,
72-420: The following conferences with in-cooperation status: SIGHPC offers a variety of travel grants to support student participation in its conferences, including a program in partnership with ACM-W that focuses specifically on participation by women. SIGHPC also sponsors an Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation Award, given each year for the best doctoral dissertation completed in high performance computing . This award
81-475: The program is open to students pursuing degrees at institutions anywhere in the world. The program began in 2015 with a five-year commitment of $ 1.5M in funds from Intel , and continued beginning in 2020 under the sole sponsorship of the SIG. As of the announcement of the 2022 class, the fellowship has supported a total of 73 Phd and MS students. Chapters are sub-organizations within ACM SIGs that may be organized by
