This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 15th International Workshop on Languages and Compilers for Parallel Processing, LCPC 2002, held in College Park, MD, USA in July 2002. The 26 revised full papers presented were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvement from 32 submissions. All current issues in parallel processing are addressed, in particular memory-constrained computation, compiler optimization, performance studies, high-level languages, programming language consistency models, dynamic parallelization, parallelization of data mining algorithms, parallelizing compilers, garbage collection algorithms, and evaluation of iterative compilation.
