Technical Committee on Parallel Processing
The TC on Parallel Processing (TCPP) acts as an international forum to promote parallel processing research and education, and participates in setting up technical standards in this area. Issues related to the design, analysis and implementation of parallel systems and solutions are of interest. These include design and analysis of parallel architectures and algorithms, and application development on parallel machines. TCPP sponsors professional meetings, brings out publications, sets guidelines for educational programs and coordinates academia, funding agency, and industry activities in the above areas. The International Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium (IPDPS), held annually in the Spring, serves as the flagship activity of this TC. Several workshops spanning interdisciplinary areas are sponsored by this TC. The newsletter of the TC is published in the Fall and Spring.
Technical Committee on Scalable Computing
The TC on Scalable Computing (TCSC) addresses theoretical and experimental aspects of designing, developing, and evaluating scalable network computing systems, especially clusters and grids, and their applications. Specific topics of interest include cluster and grid interconnection networks, middleware, single-system image, resource and scheduling management policies, distributed programming environments, principles of scalable and reliable software engineering, and high-performance and high-availability computing applications. The TCSC sponsors workshops and conferences on these and related topics, and hosts the three annual flag-ship events: International Conference on Cluster Computing (Cluster), International Super-Computing Conference (SC), and International Symposium on Cluster Computing and the Grid (CCGrid) in addition to co-sponsoring other related events.
