11th WORKSHOP ON LANGUAGE BASED PARALLEL PROGRAMMING

in conjunction with 

16th International  Conference on Parallel Processing and Applied Mathematics 

Poznan, Poland, August 30 - September 2, 2026

​

WLPP 2026 is a full-day workshop to be held in conjunction with PPAM 2026, focusing on high-level programming for large-scale parallel systems and multicore processors, with particular emphasis on component architectures and programming models. The goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners working on applications, computational models, language design, compilers, system architectures, and programming tools, in order to discuss recent developments and emerging challenges in programming cloud and parallel systems. 

The workshop addresses language-based parallel programming models, including but not limited to OpenMP, Python, Java parallel extensions, PGAS languages, Unified Parallel C (UPC), Co-Array Fortran (CAF), as well as GPGPU and hybrid programming models such as CUDA, OpenCL, oneAPI, SYCL, RAJA, Kokkos, and OpenACC. Contributions on other high-level programming models and supporting environments for parallel and distributed systems are also welcome.

WLPP 2026 will feature papers reporting on practical experiences from application developers, including the use of programming languages and the performance of real-world applications; experiences in the design and implementation of tools supporting application development, parallelization, and execution on diverse computing platforms; as well as studies on transferring ideas and concepts between different programming models.

Possible topics include, but are not limited  to,

*  AI Programming
* Language and library implementations
* Proposals for, and  evaluation of, language extensions
* Applications development experiences
* Comparisons between programming models
* Benchmark Suites and performance  studies
* Debuggers and performance analysis tools
* Compiler Implementation  and Optimization
* Optimization Techniques
​* Performance Portability
* Hybrid Models (OpenMP-MPI etc.)

Please submit full papers via the PPAM Conference submission system(formatted according to  the PPAM specification), not previously published or  submitted for publication elsewhere.

 
Journal Special Issue:

The authors of the best articles selected by the program committee and the guest editors will be invited to submit extended versions of their work to a special issue that will be published in the International Journal of Parallel Programming, Springer (approved).
