The 1999 International Conference on High Performance Computing will
be held in Calcutta, India, December 17-20, 1999. This is the sixth
annual international meeting on high performance computing which is
being organized in India. It will serve as a forum to present current
work by researchers from around the world as well as highlight
activities in Asia in the high performance computing area.


The meeting will emphasize both design and analysis of high
performance computing systems and their scientific, engineering, and
commercial applications. In addition to technical sessions of
contributed paper presentations, the conference will offer invited
presentations, a poster/presentation session, tutorials, vendor
presentations, and exhibits.


The conference has a history of attracting participation from reputed
researchers from all over the world. The fourth meeting held in
Bangalore, India in 1997 had 77 contributed papers from 18 countries
and additional special sessions and mini-panels. Approximately 250
participants attended the meeting. The conference had tutorials on
cutting edge topics in high performance computing by leading
researchers from academia and industry. Please refer to the WWW at
