PDP 2026: Call for Papers

The 34th Euromicro International Conference on Parallel, Distributed, and Network-Based Processing (PDP 2026) will be held in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, from 25-27 March 2026.

PDP stands as a premier European and international conference that comprehensively addresses all facets of parallel and distributed processing, encompassing a spectrum from foundational theory to practical implementation, across systems of all scales. It addresses fundamental computational challenges alongside robust applications and delves into architecture, compiler, language, interface design and deployment, tools, support infrastructures, and performance optimization.

• Distributed AI: Federated Learning; Distributed Learning; AI at scale; training of LLMs; benchmarking for AI workloads
• Distributed Computing: cluster, grid, fog/edge, mobile and cloud systems; Service-oriented processing; stochastic and approximate computing; cost, security, energy, and other non-functional requirements models and frameworks
• Parallel Computing: accelerator-based systems inc. GPU, FPGA, neuromorphic and post-CMOS devices; embedded parallel systems; dependability, survivability, and fault-tolerance; methodologies, benchmarking/metrics, performance analysis and tools
• Programming Models and Tools: programming languages, compilers, middleware and OS; libraries, runtime, and systems software; notations; performance prediction and analysis; simulation and modelling of parallel/distributed systems
• HPC state of practice: Managing systems and storage; managing facilities; HPC project management; moving, managing and sharing data HPC in the cloud; networking and cybersecurity; HPC training and education strategies; application workflows; system benchmarking
• Systems and Architectures: high data throughput and streaming architectures; memory organisation; service-oriented architectures; heterogeneous and hybrid systems; resource management; post-CMOS architectures inc. quantum, neuromorphic, and others

Submission Guidelines

• Submissions must be in PDF format and should not exceed eight pages for long papers and four pages for short contributions.
• All submissions must follow the IEEE Conference proceedings format (IEEEtran, double-column, 10pt) available at https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html.
• The review process is double-blind and all papers need to be “best-effort” anonymized.
• We strongly encourage making code and data available anonymously (e.g., in an anonymous GitHub repository via Anonymous GitHub or in a Dropbox folder).

Proceedings

Proceedings of the conference will be published by Conference Publishing Services and submitted for indexing in Scopus.

Special Sessions

Co-located Special Sessions are also planned as usual for PDP.
