This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 21th International Workshop on Languages and Compilers for Parallel Computing, LCPC 2008, held in Edmonton, Canada, in July/August 2008. The 18 revised full papers and 6 revised short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 35 submissions. The papers address all aspects of languages, compiler techniques, run-time environments, and compiler-related performance evaluation for parallel and high-performance computing and comprise also presentations on program analysis that are precursors of high performance in parallel environments.
