PPoPP 2025: Call for Papers

The 30th ACM SIGPLAN Annual Symposium on Principles and Practice of Parallel Programming (PPoPP 2025) will be held from March 1st to March 5th, 2025, in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, co-located with CC, CGO, and HPCA.

Scope

PPoPP is the premier forum for leading work on all aspects of parallel programming, including theoretical foundations, techniques, languages, compilers, runtime systems, tools, and practical experience. The symposium covers concurrent and parallel systems such as multicore, multi-threaded, heterogeneous, clustered, and distributed systems, grids, accelerators (ASICs, GPUs, FPGAs), data centers, clouds, large-scale machines, and quantum computers.

PPoPP is interested in all aspects related to improving the productivity of parallel programming on modern architectures, as well as work addressing new parallel workloads and issues arising from large-scale scientific or enterprise workloads.

Topics of Interest

Specific topics include, but are not limited to:

• Languages, compilers, and runtime systems for parallel programs
• Concurrent data structures
• Development, analysis, or management tools
• Fault tolerance for parallel systems
• Formal analysis and verification
• High-performance libraries
• Middleware for parallel systems
• Machine learning for parallel systems
• Parallel algorithms
• Parallel applications (scientific computing, enterprise workloads, cloud, machine learning)
• Parallel frameworks
• Parallel programming for deep memory hierarchies (including nonvolatile memory)
• Parallel programming theory and models
• Performance analysis, debugging, and optimization
• Productivity tools for parallel systems
• Software engineering for parallel programs
• Synchronization and concurrency control

Submission Guidelines

• Submission URL: https://ppopp25.hotcrp.com
• Submissions must be made electronically and include an abstract (100–400 words), author contact information, and the full list of authors and affiliations.
• Format: PDF format, printable on both A4 and US letter-size paper.
• Template: Use the ACM Conference Format (2-column acmart template).
  • Latex: acmart-sigplanproc-template.tex
