The International Workshop on OpenCL (IWOCL – "eye-wok-ul") is an annual conference that brings together the community of OpenCL users, researchers, developers and suppliers to share OpenCL best practices and help advance the use of the Khronos OpenCL standard for the parallel programming of heterogeneous systems.

Participation at IWOCL is open to anyone who is interested in contributing to, and participating in the OpenCL community. This includes developers working with the many APIs, tools and libraries built on OpenCL, such as the Khronos Standard Portable Intermediate Representation (SPIR) and the SYCL C++ abstraction layer.

Technical program and submissions

A Call for Sessions usually goes out in the Autumn before the event the following May.

The technical program comprises research papers (published in the ACM Conference Series), technical presentations and posters, preceded by a day of workshops. All submissions are reviewed by a Technical Committee comprising world-leaders in the field of OpenCL and Heterogeneous computing.
