The EGRAPHS Workshop will hold its fifth (!) instance at PLDI 2026 in Boulder, Colorado! The conference is June 15-19, and the workshop is likely on one of the first two days.

Submission deadline is Fri, April 17, 2026.

We invite submissions for talks broadly, including talks that may cover already published or in-progress work.

EGRAPHS 2026 - PLDI 2026

Research in the EGRAPHS Community has recently exploded in both quantity and diversity. The data structure that powers SMT solvers is now seeing use in synthesis, optimization, and verification via equality saturation and related techniques. In addition to recent advances in the core data structure and techniques, researchers and practitioners are applying e-graphs to domains such as compilers, floating point accuracy, test generation, computational fabrication, automatic vectorization, deep learning compute graphs, symbolic computation, and more. The fifth EGRAPHS workshop will bring toge ...

Dave Patterson’s op-ed is a great overview on how taxpayer-funded research built the backbone of modern tech: RISC, RAID, cloud, ... the list goes on. Encourage your representatives to fully fund the NSF and CISE!

This Thursday is FPTalks 2024!

This year we have a bunch of exciting talks across numerics: hot topics like quantization as well as new state-of-the-art results in verification, hardware, tools, and applications.

There's still time to register!

Ran my favorite half today: DRUMHELLER 2024!

Dizzyingly good. More aid stations than any other race. https://raceconditionrunning.com/drumheller-marathon-24/

Many thanks to everyone who made it such a fantastic event, especially Nick!

We're rethinking Herbie to be target-platform-aware; i.e., for accuracy-aware codegen. Brett also overviews of Herbie's architecture and history. Thanks to DOE for the support!

Interested in hanging out with a bunch of fantastic SE and PL folks across the PNW for a day? Join us for PNW PLSE 2024 on May 7th!

We'll have a mix of posters, lightning talks, and longer talks with plenty of "hallway track" so everyone can catch up :)
