Conference Overview
The goal of the Eighteenth International Workshop on Automatic Performance Tuning (iWAPT2026)
is to bring together researchers who are investigating automated techniques for constructing
and/or adapting algorithms and software for high-performance on modern complex machine
architectures.
Topics of Interest
We are particularly interested in autotuning and its relationship to the following topic areas, among others. This year we are adding new topics at the intersection of HPC auto-tuning with AI, Energy-aware and Quantum Computing:
- Use of Generative AI for autotuning
- Autotuning with quantum computing technology
- Machine-adaptive algorithms
- Automatic program generation
- Performance analysis and modeling
- Adaptive numerical algorithms and libraries
- Multi- and manycore systems, heterogeneous architectures challenges
- Compilation strategies(e.g. iterative and empirical compilers)
- Programming models
- Runtime systems
- Empirical search heuristics
- Power- and/or energy-aware computing
- Hyper-parameter tuning for machine learning
Paper Submissions
Files should be submitted via IPDPS 2026 Submission Site (powered by Linklings).Paper Submission Guidelines
Submitted manuscripts may not exceed ten (10) single-spaced double-column pages using
10-point size font on 8.5x11 inch pages (IEEE conference style), including figures,
tables, and references.
The IEEE conference style templates for MS Word, LaTeX, and Overleaf provided
by IEEE eXpress Conference Publishing are available for download.
See the latest versions here.
The review process is single blind review.
Accepted submissions will be included in the IPDPSW proceedings.
Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper.
The authors may use PDF eXpress, the IEEE's online file congerter and validation tool,
to complete the final paper submission process. More details about camera-ready will also be
announced when notification of the paper.
