Proceedings of the International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis

Welcome to Utah and to the 2012 conference (SC12) on high performance computing, networking, storage and analysis, sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society and the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). SC12 once again features a high quality technical program. We had a record 472 paper submissions and accepted 100 papers for presentation during the conference. In addition to papers, we have a great variety of invited talks, panels, posters and birds-of-a-feather sessions (BOFs) throughout the week. Bookending the conference will be tutorials on Sunday and Monday plus workshops on Sunday, Monday, and Friday. Nearly every part of the conference set records for submissions this year. The technical program committee has worked hard to select the best and most diverse program ever.
