Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
HPC offers stunning opportunities to solve complex problems thanks to the use of advanced hardware platforms, parallelization, distributed programming, and algorithms. Computational power rises steadily due to continuous evolution in computer architectures, networks, and software. However, it is a great challenge to take advantage of this huge amount of resources.
Thanks to the creative vision of scientists and engineers that are one step ahead of the latest technologies, they can offer new solutions that finally impact on the wellbeing of our society. A combination of these technologies and algorithms can unravel a broad spectrum of tough problems with the use of simulation models, optimization techniques, extensive dataset processing, or machine learning. Furthermore, related issues have to be considered, such as energy-efficient solutions, secure frameworks, scalability, load balancing, I/O systems, and cloud platforms, among others.
This Special Issue aims to gather innovative contributions, with new approaches, proposals, techniques, and applications in this field. The topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- High-performance computer architecture;
- High-performance computer system software;
- Multicore and multithreaded architecture methods;
- Applications related to high-performance computing;
- Distributed systems;
- High-performance computing in cloud platforms;
- Data-intensive computing;
- Optimal energy solutions;
- Energy-aware scheduling;
- Accelerators such as GPUs and TPUs.

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. Electronics 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 2400 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.
