==========================================================================

The 32nd Workshop on Languages and Compilers for Parallel Computing (LCPC) will be held on October 22-24 2019 at Georgia Tech, Atlanta. Since its founding in 1988, the LCPC workshop has been a leading venue for cutting-edge research on all aspects of parallel programming systems --- including programming models, languages, compilers, runtime systems and tools --- for a diverse range of application domains and computing platforms. The scope of the workshop includes advances in programming systems for current domains and platforms, e.g., scientific computing, batch/streaming/real-time data analytics, machine learning, cognitive computing, heterogeneous/reconfigurable computing, mobile computing, cloud computing, IoT, as well as forward-looking computing domains such as analog and quantum computing. Bold new ideas in programming systems are critical for the success of computing platforms in the Moore’s Law end-game and post-Moore eras. LCPC offers a highly interactive forum for dissemination of innovative research contributions as well as in-depth discussions of novel and emerging ideas. As in past years, LCPC 2019 aims to bring together researchers from academia, national labs and industry to create and strengthen new research collaborations.
