Topics of Interest
============================================================

The ACM International Conference on Supercomputing serves as the leading international forum for presenting research results in high-performance computing systems. The 40th edition of ICS will be held in Belfast, Northern Ireland (United Kingdom) from July 6th-9th, 2026. ICS 2026 holds two cycles of paper submissions.

Papers are solicited on all aspects of the architecture, software, and applications of high-performance computing systems of all scales (from chips to supercomputing systems), including but not limited to:

- Processor, accelerator, memory, storage, interconnect, and system architectures, including architectures based on future and emerging hardware (e.g. quantum, superconducting, photonic, neuromorphic).
- Programming languages, paradigms, and execution models, including domain-specific languages and scientific problem-solving software environments.
- Compilers, runtime systems and system software, including optimization and support for hardware resources and energy management.
- High-performance algorithms and applications including machine learning and large-scale data analytics, as well as the implementation and deployment of algorithms and applications on large-scale systems.
- Tools for measurement, modeling, analysis, and visualization of performance, energy, or other quantitative properties of high-performance computing systems.
