The 2011 Symposium on Application Accelerators in High-Performance Computing will be held July 19-21, 2011, in Knoxville, Tenn., bringing together developers of hybrid computing architectures and computing accelerators and experts involved with the development of applications on such systems to exchange ideas and discuss issues and emerging challenges. Presentations from technology developers and the academic user community are invited on the following topics:

• Novel accelerator processors, systems, and architectures.
• Integration of accelerators with high-performance computing systems.
• Programming models for accelerator-based computing.
• Languages and compilers for accelerator-based computing.
• Run-time environments, profiling and debugging tools for accelerator-based computing.
• Scientific and engineering applications that use application accelerators.

In addition to the general session, submissions are invited for the following domain-specific topics:

• Computational chemistry on accelerators (Chair: Jeff Hammond, Argonne Leadership Computing Facility).
• Lattice QCD (Chair: Steven Gottlieb, Indiana University, Bloomington).
• Weather and climate modeling (Chair: John Michalakes, National Renewable Energy Laboratory).
• Bioinformatics (Chair: TBD).

Researchers interested in presenting should submit either a short paper (up to 4 pages, for a poster presentation) or a long paper (up to 10 pages, for an oral presentation), by May 6, 2011. All submissions will be reviewed by the Technical Program Committee and the accepted submissions will be presented as either oral presentations or posters. Papers presented at the Symposium will be included in the Symposium Proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society's Conference Publishing Services (pending approval). More detailed submission instructions will be available soon.
