17th International Symposium on Advanced Parallel Processing Technology (APPT)

July 27-31, 2026

Brussels, Belgium

Advanced Parallel Processing Technology (APPT) is the flagship international conference organized by the China Computer Federation (CCF) Technical Committee on Computer Architecture (TCArch). 

Since its establishment in 1995, APPT has evolved into an ideal international forum for presenting thought-provoking ideas and advancing the frontiers of computing systems. This year, the theme of the conference is Computing Evolved. APPT-2026 will mainly focus on the multidisciplinary challenges and innovations shaping the future of computer architecture and intelligent computing. The conference invites original contributions spanning theoretical breakthroughs, system-level optimizations, and real-world applications.
