The High Performance Software Foundation community gathered in Chicago for HPSFCon 2026, bringing together developers, researchers, and industry leaders focused on advancing high performance software through open collaboration.
Over the course of the event, attendees explored a packed schedule of technical sessions, project updates, and community discussions that reflected the depth and growing momentum of the HPSF ecosystem.
A Week of Technical Insight and Collaboration
This year’s program highlighted the importance of open, community-driven approaches to high performance computing and software infrastructure. Sessions spanned topics including performance optimization, scalability, interoperability, and real-world deployment challenges. Videos from the sessions will be available on YouTube soon (stay tuned!)
Project communities across HPSF came together for dedicated meetings, creating space for contributors and users to align on roadmaps, share progress, and collaborate on next steps. These project meetings continue to be a value-added part of HPSFCon, turning conversation into action.
Project Communities at the Center
HPSFCon 2026 placed a strong emphasis on project-level collaboration. Maintainers, contributors, and adopters gathered to exchange ideas, address challenges, and strengthen the foundations of the ecosystem.
These sessions reinforced what makes HPSF unique: a focus on practical, production-ready software built through open governance and shared ownership.
Thank you to AMReX, Apptainer, Chapel, Charliecloud, E4S, Flux, HPCToolkit, HPX, Kokkos, Modules, OpenCHAMI, Spack, Trilinos, WarpX and Viskores for sharing your updates!
Continuing the Conversation
The momentum from HPSFCon does not stop when the event ends. Attendees can revisit key moments and continue learning through a range of post-event resources:
- Session recordings will be published on the HPSF YouTube channel in coming weeks
- Presentation slides are available through the event schedule platform

Thank You to the Community
HPSFCon 2026 was made possible by the contributors, speakers, and attendees who continue to invest their time and expertise into the ecosystem.
Community participation is what drives progress across HPSF projects and helps shape the future of high performance software.
It was exciting to see significant (25%) attendance growth since last year’s inaugural event, and we look forward to building on this momentum and seeing you at a future HPSF event!
