Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The use of supercomputers is becoming more appealing in a wide range of scientific fields. One implication is the increasing trend to rewrite domain-specific applications in order to improve computation efficiency. It is possible to apply a wide range of techniques to reach this goal by targeting different components of high-performance computing. For example, it is possible to hinge on accelerators to offload the most compute-intensive kernels. If the application is I/O-intensive, it is possible to change how it interacts with the underlying parallel file system. Moreover, it is possible to improve task synchronization in order to increase the ability to scale up and out. This Special Issue aims to collect case studies that use enhanced domain-specific applications in order to run more efficiently on a supercomputer node. The submitted paper should highlight the purpose and relevance of domain-specific applications, describe applied optimization techniques, measure their benefits on representative datasets, and define the relationship with input features (if any).
In this Special Issue, original research articles are welcome. The investigated optimizations may involve the following research areas:
- Parallel FS usage;
- Parallel and distribute programming;
- GP/GPU programming;
- Performance portability;
- Autotuning techniques.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
