### Dates 

Papers submissions due: March 9, 2026 AoE 
Notification of acceptance: April 14, 2026 
Camera-ready version : May [ callto:26, 2026 2026 | 26, 2026 2026 ] 
Workshop: June 26 2026 

### Scope 

Practical compiler-enabled programming environments, applied analysis methodologies, and end-to-end toolchains can contribute significantly to performance portability in the exascale era. The practical and applied use of compilation techniques, methods, and technologies, including static analysis and transformation, are imperative to improve the performance, correctness, and scalability of high-performance applications, middleware, and reusable libraries. 

This workshop brings together a diverse group of researchers with a shared interest in applying compilation and source-to-source translation methodologies, among others, to enhance explicit parallel programming such as MPI, OpenMP, PGAS, and hybrid models, but also heterogeneous programming on GPUs and FPGAs. 

Original papers will identify and solve challenges in the tradeoffs of scalability, performance, predictability, correctness, productivity, and portability on-node and at massive scale; strong-scaling, weak-scaling, and hybrid-scaling solutions assisted, augmented, and/or enabled by compiler technology are in scope. 


### Topics 

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: 
* Automatic parallelization 
* Compilation for heterogeneous systems 
* Compiler enabled optimization 
* Correctness checking of parallel software 
* Cross-languages translation 
* Modernization of legacy codes 
* Source code instrumentation 
* Source-to-source analysis/transformations 
* Static analysis 
* Static/dynamic interaction 
* Artificial Intelligence applied to compilation techniques 
* Domain Specific Language (DSL) transformation and profiling 



### Submissions and Format 

C3PO solicits two kinds of papers. Full papers present novel and original research and are limited to 12 pages in Springer LNCS format. Short papers report on interesting new ideas, work with promising/early results, or empirical studies and are limited to 6 pages in Springer LNCS format. 

The review process is single blind. Each submission will receive at least three reviews.
