The 19th International Symposium on High-level Parallel Programming and Applications (HLPP 2026) will be held as a two-day event on 9 & 10 July 2026 in Paris, France. It focuses on high-level parallel programming of multi-/many-core platforms, accelerator architectures, heterogeneous compute clusters, and highly parallel or distributed infrastructures.

HLPP serves as a forum for researchers and engineers in parallel computing, offering an excellent opportunity for scientists to present their latest ideas and findings in this challenging and ever-changing research field. We especially encourage innovative approaches in parallel programming models and applications, high-level parallel languages, compilers, runtime systems, and programming tools for all classes of parallel machines.
