The theme for IWOMP 2026 is “OpenMP: Adaptability for Heterogeneous Multi‑Device Systems.”

The OpenMP API has been instrumental in advancing parallel programming, enabling portability across both traditional and emerging heterogeneous computing systems. As the standard continues to introduce new capabilities, the OpenMP API continues to evolve, offering solutions to the growing complexity of high-performance computing (HPC) environments. The workshop welcomes papers on how the OpenMP API balances ease of use and performance, particularly in the context of heterogeneous systems, exascale computing, and real-time workloads, with an emphasis on adaptability across heterogeneous and multi-device ecosystems. IWOMP 2026 aims to bring together researchers, practitioners, and tool developers to discuss innovations, experiences, and future directions for OpenMP in an era where flexibility, performance, and portability must coexist across an ever-expanding range of computing architectures.
