HIPS 2026
The 31st HIPS workshop, held in conjunction with IPDPS 2026.
31st International Workshop on High-level Parallel Programming Models and Supportive Environments
Overview
The 31st HIPS workshop, proposed as a full-day meeting at the IEEE IPDPS 2026 conference in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA, focuses on high-level programming of multiprocessors, compute clusters, and massively parallel machines. Like previous workshops in this series, which was initially established in 1996, this event will serve as a forum for research in the areas of parallel applications, language design, compilers, runtime systems, and programming tools. It provides a timely forum for scientists and engineers to present the latest ideas and findings in these rapidly changing fields. In our call for papers, we especially encouraged innovative approaches in the areas of emerging programming models for large-scale parallel systems and many-core architectures.

Title: Navigating the Post-Exascale Computing Era: Genesis, Promptware, and Gigawatts
Abstract:
Today’s largest computing installations are approaching power consumption levels once reserved for heavy industry, with roadmaps pointing toward multi-gigawatt campus deployments within the decade. This gigawatt imperative, driven by the convergence of Exascale science and industrial-scale AI factories, makes energy efficiency the defining constraint of next-generation system design. Achieving the necessary efficiency gains demands a shift toward deeply heterogeneous architectures that pair conventional processors with domain-specific accelerators and possibly paradigms like analog and quantum co-processors. Yet this hardware diversity creates a software crisis: developers must now write, port, and optimize code across an ever-expanding set of programming models, memory hierarchies, and execution paradigms; this task is rapidly becoming intractable through manual effort alone. In the final part of this talk, I will discuss how AI can be used to cut through this complexity. By embedding AI into the software development lifecycle where it can automate code migration, optimize execution, and dynamically map work to resources, we can empower developers to productively target the full spectrum of heterogeneous hardware while keeping energy efficiency at the heart of every design decision.
Bio:
Jeffrey Vetter, Ph.D., is a Corporate Fellow at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), where he leads the Section for Advanced Computing Systems Research and the Experimental Computing Laboratory (ExCL). Vetter earned his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the Georgia Institute of Technology. Vetter is a Fellow of the IEEE and AAAS, and an ACM Distinguished Scientist. In 2010, Vetter, as part of an interdisciplinary team from Georgia Tech, NYU, and ORNL, was awarded the ACM Gordon Bell Prize. In 2020, in collaboration with a large team from IBM and LLNL, Vetter was awarded the SC20 Test of Time award for the paper from SC02, entitled “An Overview of the Blue Gene/L Supercomputer.” In 2015, Vetter served as the SC15 Technical Program Chair. He has also mentored over a hundred early career scientists: interns, postdocs, and staff members. ExCL is an open resource for the research community where more than 100 active users explore radically new approaches to computing. His recent books, entitled “Contemporary High Performance Computing: From Petascale toward Exascale (Vols. 1-3),” survey the international landscape of HPC.
