International Symposium on Code Generation and Optimization (CGO)

February 27th - March 3rd, 2021, Virtual Conference

Co-located with PPoPP, CC and HPCA

The International Symposium on Code Generation and Optimization (CGO) provides a premier venue to bring together researchers and practitioners working at the interface of hardware and software on a wide range of optimization and code generation techniques and related issues. The conference spans the spectrum from purely static to fully dynamic approaches, and from pure software-based methods to specific architectural features and support for code generation and optimization.

With the continued impact of the COVID-19, the joint steering committee of CGO/PPoPP/HPCA/CC has decided to make the conference a virtual event this year. The next conference will be held in Seoul again in 2022. Check details on the virtual conference format here.
