PPoPP 2026

Welcome to the website of the PPoPP 2026 conference.

The ACM SIGPLAN Symposium on Principles and Practice of Parallel Programming (PPoPP) is the premier forum for leading work on all aspects of parallel and performance programming, including theoretical foundations, techniques, languages, compilers, runtime systems, tools, applications, and practical experience. This symposium focuses on improving the programming productivity and performance engineering of all concurrent and parallel systems - multicore, multi-threaded, heterogeneous, clustered, and distributed systems, grids, accelerators such as ASICs, GPUs, FPGAs, data centers, clouds, large scale machines, and quantum computers. PPoPP is also interested in new and emerging parallel workloads and applications, such as artificial intelligence and large-scale scientific/enterprise workloads.

PPoPP will be held in Sydney, Australia from 31st January – 4th February 2026 and will be co-located with HPCA/PPoPP/CGO/CC 2026.

The open exchange of ideas and the freedom of thought and expression are central to the aims and goals of SIGPLAN; these require an environment that recognizes the inherent worth of every person and group, that fosters dignity, understanding, and mutual respect, and that embraces diversity. For these reasons, SIGPLAN is dedicated to providing a harassment-free conference experience, and abides by the ACM Policy Against Discrimination and Harassment at ACM Activities.

Conference participants violating these standards may be sanctioned or expelled from the conference, at the discretion of the conference organizers. Conference organizers are requested to report serious incidents to the SIGPLAN Vice Chair.
