ScalPerf '26

September 13-18, 2026

University Residential Center

Bertinoro (Forlì-Cesena), Italy

ScalPerf aims at taking an integrated view of opportunities and constraints on the road to ever higher performance and productivity of computing systems. Distinguished researchers are invited to exchange their perspectives on different areas that can contribute to scalable computing.

The workshop will include invited talks and discussion sessions. The talks can cover established results as well as brainstorm future research directions. The discussion sessions are based on questions posed by participants in advance of the workshop and consist of a first part to sharpen the formulation of the issues and a second part to explore answers. ScalPerf'26 will be the 23nd workshop in the series. It will be an opportunity to reflect on past and forthcoming developments of the field, which has witnessed major advances, e.g., in Cloud Computing, Internet of Things, and Artificial Intelligence.  Thus, this year, the topic of discussion is

Architectures and Algorithms for Accelerators and Specialized Machines

ScalPerf '26 attendees are encouraged to address one or more of these issues in their presentations.

Participants will be also be invited to submit suggestions for specific issues to include in the discussion, a few weeks before the workshop.

In addition to the invited speakers, participation of other interested researchers, particularly graduate students and junior researchers, is welcome. An expression of interest can be sent to bilardi@bici.eu, including a brief CV.
