The emerging of multi-core commodity processors and advanced networking technologies are leading to the design of a new generation of high performance and cost-effective parallel and distributed systems.  Multi-core processor architectures are designed to boost performance and minimize heat output by integrating two or more processor cores into a single processor socket. To achieve scalability and high performance in such systems, it is increasingly challenging the design improvements on both hardware and software.  We invite contributions from a wide range of specialists in high performance computing community, including architecture, software environment, language design, algorithm, networking protocols, compilers, operating systems and applications for advancing next generation computing systems.
