Come join us for the 23rd annual IEEE Symposium on High-Performance
Interconnects (Hot Interconnects), to be held August 26-27 (with
tutorials on August 28), 2015, generously hosted by Oracle at the
historic Oracle Agnews Campus, Santa Clara, California.

Hot Interconnects (HotI) is the premier international forum for
researchers and developers of state- of-the-art hardware and
software architectures and implementations for interconnection
networks of all scales, ranging from multi-core on-chip
interconnects to those within systems, clusters, data centers, and
clouds. This yearly conference is attended by leaders in industry
and academia, creating a wealth of opportunities to interact with
individuals at the forefront of this field.

This year’s Hot Interconnects features keynotes from Oracle’s Vice
President of Hardware Development Rick Heatherington, and David
Meyer, the CTO and Chief Scientist of Brocade Communications. There
will be a great lineup of exciting talks, Intel will be discussing
their upcoming OmniPath technology, Facebook will discuss their
efforts in interconnects and VMWare will talk about NFV.

A panel “HPC vs. Datacenter Networks” discussing the intersection
of HPC networking technologies and Data center networking from
experts in both areas from world-leading companies and institutions
will provide a lively debate on what each group can learn from each
other and areas in which they are already converging.

There will be four technical paper sessions covering the cutting
edge in interconnect research and development on cross-cutting
issues spanning computer systems, networking technologies, and
communication protocols for high-performance interconnection
networks. This conference is directed particularly at new and
exciting technology and product innovations in these areas.

Building on last year’s successful technical program comprising
keynotes, technical sessions, and panels on networking for
data centers and high-performance computing, the 2015 edition of Hot
Interconnects will be located at Oracle Agnews Campus in Santa
Clara, CA. This year’s conference focuses on HPC Interconnects and
their use in traditional and non-traditional applications. We hope
you can join us.
