Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
High performance computing (HPC) deals with a variety of application domains, ranging from image and video processing to simulation and computational science applied in several areas of natural science. With consumer devices and high-end systems becoming increasingly powerful, HPC is playing an increasingly important role in research and in applications alike. Today, real-world application codes are often hand-tuned, which requires a huge amount of engineering effort given the variety of codes in use. Therefore, simplifying the task of constructing HPC codes that deliver high performance has become an important topic in research. The idea of this Special Issue is to show different approaches to HPC software design that increase performance, productivity, or portability of application codes.
Topics of interest include several aspects of HPC codes:
- performance optimization
- auto-tuning and machine learning
- software technology
- code generation for GPUs, accelerators and distributed systems
- applications in embedded systems
- hardware/high-level synthesis
- reaching exascale performance
- static analysis and verification
- scalability of numerical algorithms

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Computation is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
