Parallel computing is no longer a niche research field but an essential ingredient in all aspects of computer science. ACM Transactions on Parallel Computing (TOPC) is a forum for novel and innovative work on all aspects of parallel computing, including foundational and theoretical aspects, systems, languages, architectures, tools, and applications. It will address all classes of parallel-processing platforms including concurrent, multithreaded, multicore, accelerated, multiprocessor, clusters, and supercomputers.

TOPC will span the range from foundational research in parallel computing to principles extracted from experimental investigations. Submissions should describe novel solutions to important challenges in exploiting parallelism. Solutions should be generic enough to be used beyond the specific application area in which the problem arose. Papers describing experiences should indicate how they illustrate general principles; papers about parallel computing foundations should indicate how they relate to practice.

• We encourage you to prepare the submission in LaTeX or Microsoft Word in the ACM style. You can find more information on the ACM website:
  LaTeX Style File (TOPC uses the Small Standard format)
  Microsoft Word Style File
  
  
• Your submission must adhere to the ACM polices on prior publication, including correct citations of your own and other prior work. Your submission needs to include a cover letter documenting where any prior version of the submitted material may have appeared in or as part of a thesis, workshop, conference, or journal publication.
  
  Please read ACM's policies on these issues:
  ACM Policy on prior publication and simultaneous submission
  ACM policy on plagiarism, including self plagiarism
  
  
• Your submission should include ACM Categories and Subject Descriptors. There is additional information on the ACM Computing Classification System page.
  
  
• There is no page limit on the submission. However, authors should use their judgment to ensure a paper has an appropriate length for the material presented.
• You will submit your manuscript using Editorial Manager.

ACM has partnered with American Journal Experts (AJE) to provide language editing (and translation) services to ACM authors. AJE has helped thousands of researchers around the world to present their research in polished English suitable for publication in journals such as those published by ACM. Editing is available for both Word and LaTeX files.

To take advantage of this partnership, visit http://www.aje.com/c/acm15 for a 15% discount off all AJE services. (Editing services are at author expense and do not guarantee publication of a paper.)

Please note that formatting assistance is provided at no charge to authors by Aptara, as specified on the author style guide pages: http://www.acm.org/publications/submissions/latex_style and http://www.acm.org/publications/word_style/word-style-toc/.

Please provide a brief description of your supplementary online-only material (i.e., text and multimedia material) to be published in the Digital Library. A short “readme.txt” file will appear in the DL along with your supplementary material describing its content and whatever requirements there are for using it.
