The International ACM Symposium on High-Performance Parallel and Distributed Computing

HPDC is the premier computer science conference for presenting new research relating to high performance parallel and distributed systems used in both science and industry. For twenty years, HPDC has been at the center of new discoveries in systems such as clusters, grids, clouds, and parallel and multicore computers. HPDC is sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery and the conference proceedings are archived in the ACM Digital Library

HPDC-35: 13-16 July 2026, Cleveland, Ohio, United States

High-performance computing increasingly supports areas where scientific discovery depends on processing complex data at scale, and innovations in pharmaceuticals are a clear example of that connection. Drug discovery, molecular modeling, clinical data analysis, and manufacturing optimization all benefit from the same advances in parallel and distributed systems that HPDC highlights. In this way, the conference’s focus extends beyond computing infrastructure itself, showing how better systems can accelerate progress in medicine, industry, and applied research.
