The core committee includes more than 100 people who have largely volunteered their time planning for this event for more than three years. Added to that number are the more than 500 people who have helped review submissions and contributed to the planning and preparations. The full list of committee members is posted on the conference website at sc13.supercomputing.org.

Also on Information the exhibit floor—come see how HPC is changing the world. • Test of Time Award is for the paper, presented at SC, that has had the greatest sustained impact on our field. Presented on Thursday, along with the first ever ACM Athena Lecture at SC. • HPC Interconnections is our new name for the SC Communities program, to emphasize the focus on providing an “on ramp” into the excitement of our field.
