Current Trends in Computer Architecture and High Performance Computing (HPC) with Their Mathematical Foundations

Dear Colleagues,

The performance of computing devices has improved tremendously over the last decade. The design of computer architectures has adapted to work around the physical limitations hindering the traditional scaling of production processes, looking for new designs to take advantage of the ever growing transistor count while working around the power delivery and dissipation limitations imposed by the so-called “power wall”.

In response to this architectural evolution, the software community has undertaken huge efforts to adapt their scientific and engineering computations to the new highly parallel, highly heterogeneous computational units. The quest for high performance computing has triggered algorithmic paradigm changes, as well as the development of more powerful automatic optimizers and compilers.

We invite researchers to submit papers related to modern architectures, algorithms, and code analysis and synthesis techniques, highlighting the mathematical concepts and applications that constitute the fundamental pillars of modern computer engineering. These mathematical concepts include, but are not limited to, combinatorics, graph theory, probability and statistics, operations research, linear and computational algebra, geometry, numerical analysis, or optimization.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
