Editorial for the ISC'12 research paper sessions proceedings

摘要

The International Supercomputing Conference, founded in 1986 as the "Supercomputer Seminar", has been held annually for the last 25 years. Originally organized by Professor Hans Meuer, Professor of Computer Science at the University of Mannheim and former director of the computer centre, the Seminar brought together a group of 81 scientists ' and industrial partners who all shared an interest in high performance computing. Since then the annual conference has become a major international event within the HPC community, and accompanying its growth in size over the years, the conference has moved from Mannheim to Heidelberg and then to Dresden and finally to Hamburg. With 2,400 attendees and more than 160 exhibitors from over 50 countries expected to attend this year's conference , we are optimistic that this steady growth of interest will also turn ISC' 12 into a powerful and memorable event.
