SBAC-PAD is open for faculty members, researchers, specialists and graduate students around the world. In this edition, the symposium will be held at the University of Porto, Porto, Portugal. The city of Porto is famous for its Port wine and beautiful scenery, architecture and cultural events. Authors are invited to submit manuscripts on a wide range of high-performance and distributed computing areas. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * Application-specific systems * Architecture and programming support for emerging domains (Big Data, Deep Learning, Machine learning, Cognitive Systems) * Benchmarking, performance measurements, and analysis * Cloud, cluster, and edge/fog computing systems * Embedded and pervasive systems * GPUs, FPGAs and accelerator architectures * Languages, compilers, and tools for parallel and distributed programming * Modeling and simulation methodology * Operating systems and virtualization * Parallel and distributed systems, algorithms, and applications * Power and energy-efficient systems * Processor, cache, memory, storage, and network architecture * Real-world applications and case studies * Reconfigurable, resilient and fault-tolerant systems Paper Submission Submissions must be in English, 8 pages maximum, following the IEEE conference formatting guidelines. To be published in the conference proceedings and to be eligible for publication at the IEEE Xplore, at least one of the authors must register at the full rate and present her/his work. Authors may not use a single registration for multiple papers. Authors of accepted papers will be invited to submit extended versions of their papers for publication on the Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing. The call will be open and will follow the normal journal submission procedure.
