21st Workshop on Compilers for Parallel Computing

Virtual Event - Register HERE

June 16-18 2021, Porto, Portugal


The CPC (Compilers for Parallel Computing) workshop is a venue for researchers in the area of parallel compilation to meet and present their latest research activities and results. The workshop is held in an informal and relaxed atmosphere in order to exchange ideas and to foster collaboration. The scope encompasses all areas of parallelism and optimization: in principle, any topic that is of interest to a designer of parallel systems and/or compilers is of interest for this workshop.

CPC 2021 will be virtually held in INESCTEC in Porto, Portugal.

The deadline for abstract submissions is May 21, 2021.
The deadline for abstract submissions has been extended and is now June 4, 2021.

The submission webpage is now open.

About the workshop

Compilers for Parallel Computing is unusual: it's a true workshop, with no published proceedings. Instead, it's a meeting of international research specialists, to present research and exchange ideas. There is no peer review - we simply aim to select talks that will make an interesting program. Talks can cover work that is in-progress, under review or already published.

To get an idea of the topics and format, please have a look at the program from the last couple of CPCs:


The CPC series started in Oxford, England (1989) and continued, with an 18-month period, in Paris (1990), Wien (1992), Delft (1993), Malaga (1995), Aachen (1996), Linköping (1998), Aussois (2000), Edinburgh (2001), Amsterdam (2003), Chiemsee (2004), A Coruña (2006), Lisbon (2007), Zürich (2009), Wien (2010), Padova (2012), Lyon (2013), London (2015), Valladolid (2016) and Dublin (2018).

Topics of interest

The main goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers in compilation and associated areas, in an informal and relaxed atmosphere to exchange ideas and to foster collaboration. The scope encompasses all areas of parallelism and optimization, from embedded systems to large scale parallel systems and computational grids. Here is a representative list of topics:

We encourage submission on new and emerging topics and reports on work in progress. Contributions may contain previously-published material, but should reflect the authorsʼ current interest. To enable a wide representation of research groups, a maximum of two contributions per group will be accepted.

Note that for each submission, it is obligatory (and sufficient) to submit the information regarding the authors, a title, and the abstract of the proposed talk (all in text). However, authors may also attach a PDF file with additional information regarding their talk (e.g., an accompanying report, paper, or presentation).
