This book constitutes the refereed workshop proceedings of the 16th International Conference on
Algorithms and Architectures for Parallel Processing ICA3PP 2016 held in Granada Spain in
December 2016. The 30 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 58
submissions. They cover many dimensions of parallel algorithms and architectures encompassing
fundamental theoretical approaches practical experimental projects and commercial components
and systems trying to push beyond the limits of existing technologies including experimental
efforts innovative systems and investigations that identify weaknesses in existing parallel
processing technology.
