The LLVM framework is a vast ecosystem that stretches far beyond a "simple" C/C++ compiler. The variety of programming-language and toolchain-related parts includes the components to support a host of parallel programming models and libraries, including CUDA, HIP, OpenMP, SYCL, and the C++ parallel algorithms. In addition, LLVM serves as a vehicle for various languages in which parallelism is a first class citizen, such as Julia or Chapel. The workshop is held in conjunction with the ICPP during the workshop day. If you are interested in attending the workshop, please register at the ICPP website. Note: It has not yet been decided if the workshop will be held in person or virtual, please see the ICPP website for more information. Depending on the decision for the conference we will try to accomodate all interested parties.

Workshop
LLVM is an award-winning compiler infrastructure used in industry and academia for creating novel optimizing compilers, program analysis tools, and new programming languages. The goal of LLPP is to bring together researchers and practitioners that use LLVM for parallel processing, including but not limited on the topics of parallelism-aware compilation and optimization, parallelism- specific program analysis, and new parallel programming models and implementations.

Topics of Interest
Focus areas LLPP include but are not limited to:

• Parallelism-aware compilation and optimization
  • Parallelism analysis in compilation
  • Parallelism-aware compiler optimizations
• Parallel programming languages and models
  • Domain-specific parallel programming languages
  • Novel parallelism models and implementations
• Performance analysis and tuning in LLVM
  • Performance analysis tools for parallelism
  • Tuning tools for parallel execution

Proceedings
Accepted papers will be published by the ACM International Conference Proceedings Series (ICPS), in conjunction with those of other ICPP workshops, in a volume entitled 50th International Conference on Parallel Processing Workshops (ICPP 2021 Workshops). This volume will be available for download via the ACM Digital Library.

Submission Guidelines
LLPP follows the same submission guidelines as the ICPP conference, please visit ICPP CFP. In brief, paper submissions should be in the US letter ACM format, not exceed 10 pages (incl. references), prepared for double-blind review, and submitted in the PDF document format. Note, short papers (up to 6 pages incl. references) are acceptable too.
