Call for Workshops and Tutorials

33rd IEEE International Conference on High Performance Computing

The 33rd annual IEEE International Conference on High Performance Computing (HiPC 2026) will take place in Bengaluru from December 16 to 19, 2026. In addition to the main technical program, HiPC 2026 will feature a set of workshops and tutorials that expand and complement the conference’s scope by exploring emerging topics in high performance computing, AI, hardware technology, edge computing, and quantum computing.

The selected workshops and tutorials will be held on the first day of the conference (December 16, 2026). Most workshops and tutorials are expected to run as half-day sessions (approx. 3.5 hours), although proposals for full-day sessions (approx. 7 hours) are also welcome, depending on interest and space availability.

Workshops typically feature a blend of invited and contributed talks, peer-reviewed papers and contributions, panel discussions, and work-in-progress presentations. Workshop organizers are responsible for issuing a call for papers (CFP), coordinating the review process, and ensuring each submission is reviewed by at least three experts in accordance with IEEE and HiPC guidelines. Accepted papers will be published in a dedicated HiPC Workshops (HiPCW 2026) proceedings volume, assigned its own ISBN, and made available online unless otherwise requested. Eligible papers will also be included in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library after the conference.

Note: All accepted papers must be presented in person by an author at the conference. Virtual presentations will not be permitted. Additionally, each accepted paper must be supported by a full registration for the main conference.

Tutorials are instructional sessions that provide attendees with a focused introduction to, or deeper exploration of, a specific topic, method, tool, or emerging area. Tutorials should be designed to support learning through clear explanations, examples, demonstrations, and, where appropriate, hands-on or interactive elements.

As a courtesy, the conference will provide one complimentary registration per workshop / tutorial to support participation of a keynote or invited speaker. All workshop and tutorial participants are required to register for HiPC 2026.

For further details, please refer to the Workshops and Tutorials FAQ on the HiPC 2026 website.
