The 12th Symposium on Software Performance (SSP) takes place on-site in Leipzig. It is one of the liveliest and most dynamic cities in Germany. Whether as a musical city, trade fair mecca or city of books – Leipzig has been an important European centre for hundreds of years. Famous poets such as Lessing, Klopstock, Gottsched or Goethe moved here. Philosophers such as Leibniz, Nietzsche and Bloch influence thinking in the city to this day. And Leipzig is especially well known across the world for its musicality, with a long tradition stretching back to the works of Bach and Mendelssohn Bartholdy in particular.

Leipzig University was founded in 1409. In the course of its diverse history, it grew to encompass a wide selection of disciplines comprising almost all areas of knowledge. World-renowned scientists have taught or studied in Leipzig, and important impulses for the development of thought originated here. The SSP will be hosted by the University Computing Centre at Leipzig University.

The main program will take place in Paulinum, which is located at Neues Augusteum, Augustuspl. 10, 04109 Leipzig, in the centre of Leipzig.
