We invite authors to submit original, high-quality work with sufficient background material to be clear to the HPC community.

Format

All submissions should be made electronically through the SC26 Submissions website. Papers should be submitted as PDF file using the IEEE proceedings template. We kindly refer authors to the necessary templates.

Submissions must be double blind, i.e., authors should remove their names, institutions or hints found in references to earlier work. When discussing past work, they need to refer to themselves in the third person, as if they were discussing another researcher’s work. Furthermore, authors must identify any conflict of interest with the PC chair or PC members.

We are accepting:

• Full papers, 5-12 pages including figures, tables, and references. Full papers will be included in the published proceedings.
• Short papers, 2-4 pages including figures, tables, and references Short papers will not be included in the published proceedings.

Reproducibility at HUST

For the HUST workshop, we adopt the model of the SC26 technical paper program. Participation in the reproducibility initiative is optional, but highly encouraged. To participate, authors provide a completed Artifact Description Appendix (at most 2 pages) along with their submission. Please use the SC26 AD appendix template for your HUST submission. Note: A paper cannot be disqualified based on information provided or not provided in this appendix, nor if the appendix is not available. The availability and quality of an appendix can be used in ranking a paper. In particular, if two papers are of similar quality, the existence and quality of the appendices can be part of the evaluation process. For more information, please refer to the SC26 reproducibility page and the FAQs below.

FAQ for authors

Q. Is the Artifact Description appendix required in order to submit a paper to HUST 2026?

A. No. These appendices are not required. If you do not submit any appendix, it will not disqualify your submission. At the same time, if two papers are otherwise comparable in quality, the existence and quality of appendices can be a factor in ranking one paper over another.

Q. Do I need to make my software open source in order to complete the Artifacts Description appendix?

A. No. It is not required that you make any changes to your computing environment in order to complete the appendix. The Artifacts Description appendix is meant to provide information about the computing environment you used to produce your results, reducing barriers for future replication of your results.

Q. Does the Artifacts Description appendix really impact scientific reproducibility?

A. The Artifacts Description appendix is simply a description of the computing environment used to produce the results in a paper. By itself, this appendix does not directly improve scientific reproducibility. However, if this artifact is done well, it can be used by scientists (including the authors at a later date) to more easily replicate and build upon the results in the paper. Therefore, the Artifacts Description appendix can reduce barriers and costs of replicating published results. It is an important first step toward full scientific reproducibility.
