About the Workshop

Accelerating HPC in the Cloud-Edge Continuum

The Accelerated HPC in the Cloud-Edge Continuum (AHPC3) workshop is a leading forum for presenting the latest advances in the convergence of high-performance computing (HPC) with cloud-edge continuum architectures. AHPC3 focuses on innovative solutions for sustainable, energy-efficient, and intelligent execution of data-intensive and AI-driven workloads across heterogeneous infrastructures, promoting dynamic orchestration, network-aware optimizations, and federated learning across distributed environments.

This 3rd edition will be held in conjunction with PDP 2026, providing an excellent opportunity to share research findings and foster collaborations in this rapidly evolving field.
