CARLA 2026: Join the Leading HPC Event in Latin America

Dear Users,

We are pleased to share with you the announcement of CARLA 2026, the Latin America High Performance Computing Conference. Since 2014, CARLA has become one of the leading international events promoting excellence in High‑Performance Computing (HPC) and AI at scale, bringing together researchers, technologists, and practitioners from across Latin America and around the world.

CARLA 2026 will take place September 21–25, 2026, hosted for the first time in Córdoba, Argentina. The Universidad Nacional de Córdoba (UNC) will serve as the local organizer through its Supercómputo Center (CCAD‑UNC).

The conference features four technical tracks:

1. High‑Performance Computing (HPC)
2. Artificial Intelligence at HPC Scale
3. HPC Applications
4. (New!) Education for High‑Performance Computing

Accepted papers will be published in the Springer CCIS series, continuing CARLA’s tradition of high scientific quality [1].

Submissions must be original, written in English, and formatted according to the Springer LNCS guidelines (max 15 pages). All contributions undergo single‑blind peer review by at least three independent experts [2,3].

Call for Workshops

CARLA 2026 also invites workshop proposals addressing emerging topics in HPC, AI, data science, and related domains. Proposals may target either half‑day or full‑day formats and may include peer‑reviewed papers, invited talks, panels, or interactive sessions.

Proposals (max 1 page, PDF) should include: workshop title, organizers and affiliations, relevance to the CARLA community, preferred duration, submission format, planned activities (keynotes, panels, discussions, etc.), tentative schedule.
