This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 31st International Workshop on Languages and Compilers for Parallel Computing, LCPC 2018, held in Salt Lake City, UT, USA, in October 2018. The 14 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 26 submissions. Specific topics are compiling for parallelism and parallel compilers, static, dynamic, and adaptive optimization of parallel programs, parallel programming models and languages, formal analysis and verification of parallel programs, parallel runtime systems and libraries, performance analysis and debugging tools for concurrency and parallelism, parallel algorithms and concurrent data structures, parallel applications, synchronization and concurrency control, software engineering for parallel programs, fault tolerance for parallel systems, and parallel programming and compiling for heterogeneous systems.

The goal is to produce higher-quality code, and moreover, to remove abstraction penalties generally associated with such constructs. We believe that such abstraction penalties are increasing in importance due to C++ parallel-algorithms libraries and other performance-portability-motivated programming methods. In addition, we will discuss when, and more importantly when not, explicit parallelism-awareness is necessary within the compiler in order to enable the desired optimization capabilities.
