SC (formerly Supercomputing), the International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis, is the annual conference established in 1988 by the Association for Computing Machinery and the IEEE Computer Society. In 2019, about 13,950 people participated overall;{{Cite web|date=2019-12-11|title=Post-Conference Resources and Gratitude from SC19 General Chair Michela Taufer|url=https://sc19.supercomputing.org/2019/12/11/post-conference-resources-and-gratitude-from-sc19-general-chair-michela-taufer/|access-date=2021-06-03|website=SC19|language=en-US}} by 2022 attendance had rebounded to 11,830 both in-person and online.{{Cite web |title=SC22 Dazzles in Dallas |url=https://mailchi.mp/info/sc22-dazzles-in-dallas |access-date=12 January 2023 |website=SC22 Newsletter}} The not-for-profit conference is run by a committee of approximately 600 volunteers who spend roughly three years organizing each conference.

Sponsorship and Governance

SC is sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery and the IEEE Computer Society. From its formation through 2011, ACM sponsorship was managed through ACM's Special Interest Group on Computer Architecture (SIGARCH). Sponsors are listed on each proceedings page in the ACM DL; see for example.{{Cite conference

}} The conference is non-profit.

The conference is governed by a steering committee that includes representatives of the sponsoring societies, the current conference general chair, the general chairs of the preceding two years, the general chairs of the next two conference years, and a number of elected members.{{cite web |url=http://supercomputing.org/steering.php |title=SC Steering Committee |author= |website=The Supercomputing Conference Series |access-date= 2016-11-06 }} All steering committee members are volunteers, with the exception of the two representatives of the sponsoring societies, who are employees of those societies. The committee selects the conference general chair, approves each year's conference budget, and is responsible for setting policy and strategy for the conference.

Conference Components

Although each conference committee introduces slight variations on the program each year, the core components of the conference remain largely unchanged from year to year.

=Technical Program=

The SC Technical Program is competitive with an acceptance rate around 20% for papers (see History). Traditionally, the program includes invited talks, panels, research papers, tutorials, workshops, posters, and Birds of a Feather (BoF) sessions.{{cite web |url=http://sc16.supercomputing.org/full-program/ |title=SC16 Full Conference Program |author= |website=SC16 conference website |access-date=2016-11-06 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161106123003/http://sc16.supercomputing.org/full-program/ |archive-date=2016-11-06 }}

=Awards=

Each year, SC hosts the following conference and sponsoring society awards:{{cite web |url=http://sc16.supercomputing.org/submitters/awards/ |title=SC16 Awards Program |author= |website=SC16 conference website |access-date= 2016-11-06 }}

= Exhibits=

In addition to the technical program, SC hosts a research exhibition each year that includes universities, state-sponsored computing research organizations (such as the Federal labs in the US), and vendors of HPC-related hardware and software from many countries around the world. There were 353 exhibitors at SC16 in Salt Lake City, UT.{{cite web |url=http://iebms.heiexpo.com/iebms/oep/oep_p1_exhibitors.aspx?oc=34&ct=OEP&eventid=5016 |title=SC16 List of Exhibitors |author= |website=SC16 exhibitor directory |access-date= 2016-11-06 }}

=Student Program=

SC's program for students has gone through a variety of changes and emphases over the years. Beginning with SC15{{cite web |url=http://sc15.supercomputing.org/conference-program/student-program.html |title=Students@SC |author= |website=SC15 conference website |access-date= 2016-11-06 }} the program is called "Students@SC", and is oriented toward undergraduate and graduate students in computing related fields, and computing-oriented students in science and engineering. The program includes professional development programs, opportunities to learn from mentors, and engagement with SC's technical sessions.

=SCinet=

SCinet is SC's research network. Started in 1991, SCinet features emerging technologies for very high bandwidth, low latency wide area network communications in addition to operational services necessary to provide conference attendees with connectivity to the commodity Internet and to many national research and engineering networks.

Name changes

the full name of the conference was the "ACM/IEEE Supercomputing Conference" (sometimes: "ACM/IEEE Conference on Supercomputing"). The conference's abbreviated (and more commonly used) formal name was "Supercomputing 'XY", where XY denotes the last two digits of the year. In 1996, according to the archived front matter of the conference proceedings,{{Cite conference

the full name was changed to the ACM/IEEE "International Conference on

High Performance Computing and Communications". The latter document

further announced that, as of 1997, the conference will undergo a name

change and will be called "SC97: High Performance Networking and

Computing". The document explained that

{{Quote

A 1997 HPC Wire article discussed at length the reasoning,

considerations, and concerns that accompanied the decision to change

the name of the conference series from "Supercomputing 'XY" to "SC

'XY",{{cite journal

stating that

{{Quote

| text = It's official: the age of supercomputing has ended. At any rate, the word "supercomputing" has been excised from the title of the annual trade shows, sponsored by the IEEE and ACM, that have been known for almost ten years as "Supercomputing '(final two digits of year)". The next event, to be held in San Jose next November, has been redesignated "SC '97." Like Lewis Carroll's Cheshire Cat, "supercomputing" has faded steadily away until only the smile, nose, and whiskers remain. ... The loss is a real one. An enormous range of ordinary people had some idea, however vague, what "supercomputing" meant. No-caf, local alternatives like "SC" and "HPC" lack this authority. This is not a trivial issue. In these days of rapid change, passing technofancies, and information overload, a rose with the wrong name is just another thorn -- or forgotten immediately. After all, how can businessmen, ordinary consumers, and taxpayers be expected to pay money for something they can't comprehend? More important, will investors and grant-givers hand over money to support further R&D on something whose only identity is an arbitrary clump of capital letters?

| source = Norris Parker Smith. HPC Wire. February 7, 1997.}}

Despite these concerns, the abbreviated name of the conference, "SC",

is still used today, a reminiscent of the abbreviation of the

conference's original name—"Supercomputing Conference".

The full name, in contrast, underwent several changes.

the name "High Performance Networking and Computing" was specified in

the front matter of the archived conference proceedings in some years

(1997, 1998, 2000, 2002), whereas in other years it was omitted

altogether in favor of the abbreviated name (1999, 2001, 2003).

the current full name, as used today, emerged: "The International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis".

Despite all of the name variances in the proceedings through the years, the digital library of ACM, the co-sponsoring society, records the name of the conference as "The ACM/IEEE Conference on Supercomputing" from 1998 - 2008, when it changes to ""The International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis". It is these two names that are used in the full citations to the conference proceedings provided in this article.

History

The table below provides the location, name of the general chair, and acceptance statistics for each year of SC. Note that references for data in these tables apply to data preceding the reference to the left on the same row; for example, for SC17 the single reference substantiates all the information in that row, but for SC05 the source for the convention center and chair is different than the source for the acceptance statistics.

Originally slated to be held in Atlanta, GA, SC20 was converted to a fully virtual conference{{Cite web|date=2020-07-27|title=SC20 Virtual Event Announced by General Chair Christine E.
