Scientific Visualization Deadline Extended to August 21st

SC15’s Visualization and Data Analytics Showcase Program provides a forum for the year's most instrumental movies in HPC.  Six finalists will compete for the Best Visualization Award, and each finalist will present his or her movie during a dedicated session at SC15 in a 15-minute presentation. Movies are judged based on how their movie illuminates science, by the quality of the movie, and for innovations in the process used for creating the movie.

Review and selection process:
Submissions needed to include a movie (up to 250MB in size) and a short paper (up to four pages including references).  The short paper should describe the scientific story conveyed by the movie, how the visualization helps scientific discovery, and the "state-of-the-practice" information behind making the movie.

Each submission will be peer reviewed by the Visualization and Data Analytics Showcase Committee. Criteria for revision include:

•     Compelling visualization

•     Visualizing data involving HPC in a significant way (whether through simulation or data analytics)

•     Meaningful and compelling science story

•     Description of visualization techniques necessary to accomplish the movie

Finally, submissions should support SC15's overall theme "HPC transforms.”

Show Off Your Next-Gen Innovations in the Emerging Technologies Track

The Emerging Technologies (ET) track is welcoming submissions for any new, potentially disruptive technology that might have a big impact on the HPC landscape in the medium to long term (5-15 years). While submissions from any potentially relevant emerging technology is welcomed, for 2015 we will have a particular focus on SoCs for HPC”. System-on-a-Chip (SoC) technologies which might be highly advantageous for HPC and so an exploration of how this space might disrupt HPC is timely.

BoFs: Engage with Your HPC Community
Don't just observe, ENGAGE!
SC15 is soliciting submissions for Birds-of-a-Feather (BoF) sessions which are among the most interactive, diverse, popular, and well-attended sessions of the SC conference series. The BoF sessions provide a non-commercial, dynamic venue for conference attendees to openly discuss current topics of focused mutual interest within the HPC community with a strong emphasis on audience-driven discussion, professional networking and grassroots participation.
