VECPAR is a series of international conferences dedicated to the promotion and advancement of all aspects of high-performance computing for computational science, as an industrial technique and academic discipline, extending the fr- tier of both the state of the art and the state of practice. The audience for and participants in VECPAR are seen as researchers in academic departments, g- ernment laboratories and industrial organizations. There is now a permanent website for the series, http: //vecpar.fe.up.pt, where the history of the conf- ences is described....

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conferenceproceedings of the 9th International Conference on High PerformanceComputing for Computational Science, VECPAR 2010, held in Berkeley, CA, USA, in June 2010.The 34 revised full papers presented together with five invited contributionswere carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and revision. The papers are organized in topical sections on linear algebra and solvers on emerging architectures, large-scale simulations, parallel and distributed computing, numerical algorithms.
