Dresden in focus: Euro-Par 2025 impresses with cutting-edge research!
Euro-Par 2025 took place from August 25th to 29th, 2025 at the Technical University of Dresden, which attracted numerous international researchers as host. Over 250 participants from different countries attended the prestigious conference, which covered the latest developments in parallel and distributed computing. The central topics included theoretical foundations, practical applications, system architectures as well as programming languages and compiler design.
The conference offered an extensive scientific program that included seven workshops and twenty sessions in six thematic tracks. In addition, participants were able to take part in a poster and demo session and the PhD Symposium attended a special poster session. A significant initiative was the special session of the Women in High Performance Computing (WHPC) network, which focused on increasing the visibility and networking of women in this sector.
Keynotes and awards
Three well-known scientists gave keynote speeches at Euro-Par 2025: Prof. Martin Schulz from the Technical University of Munich spoke about the integration of high-performance computing with quantum accelerators. Prof. Florina M. Ciorba from the University of Basel highlighted the challenges of balancing performance, portability and productivity in the age of artificial intelligence. Prof. Domenico Talia from the Università della Calabria discussed data-centric parallelization strategies for big data and AI applications.
Particularly noteworthy is the awarding of the Best Paper Award to Aurélien Delval, Pablo de Oliveira Castro, William Jalby and Etienne Renault for their paper “Noise injection for performance bottleneck analysis”. The Euro-Par Achievement Award was presented to Prof. Domenico Talia to recognize his outstanding contributions to research in the field of high performance computing.
Networking and importance of the event
The opening speech was given by Prof. Dr. Heike Graßmann, Saxon State Secretary, who emphasized the importance of efficient information infrastructures and international cooperation. Prof. Dr. Roswitha Böhm, Vice Rector of TU Dresden, joined in and emphasized the importance of collaboration across disciplines and national borders. Networking opportunities were created through a reception in the Palais im Großer Garten and a conference dinner where participants could exchange feedback and make new contacts.
By holding this event, TU Dresden has presented itself as an internationally visible location for cutting-edge research in the field of digital technologies. The conference was organized by the Center for Information Services and High Performance Computing (ZIH), supported by CIDS and the Institute for Computer Engineering.
Dresden, as the capital of the Free State of Saxony and known for its rich art and culture scene, also offers a diverse scientific landscape with over 40 research institutions. Over 50 museums and at least 30 theaters reinforce the international reputation of the city, which is considered one of the most dynamic locations for research and development in Germany.
