High performance computing is a key technology to solve large problems in science, engineering, and business by utilizing computing power which has been evolving to the future. HPC Asia, which is an international conference series on HPC technologies in Asia Pacific region, and was held in the past several times in several countries in Asia regional site to discuss the issues on high performance computing and to exchange information of research and development results. It, however, was not recently organized in the past few years. During these years, new interesting and remarkable technologies and results have appeared. We are planning to organize a meeting as the International Conference on High Performance Computing in Asia-Pacific Region, or HPC Asia 2018 to exchange ideas, case studies, and research results related to all issues of high performance computing.
