This volume comprises the proceedings of the 4th International Conference on High Performance Computing in Science and Engineering - HPCSE 2019, which was held in the Hotel Soláň in the heart of the Beskydy Mountains, Czech Republic, on May 20-23, 2019. The biennial conference was organized by the IT4Innovations National Supercomputing Center at VSB - Technical University of Ostrava with the support of partner institutions: Brno University of Technology, Charles University, Czech Technical University in Prague, Institute of Geonics and Institute of Mathematics of the CAS, and Czech Network for Mathematics in Industry eu-maths-in.cz. The aim was to bring together specialists in high performance computing from fields such as applied mathematics, numerical methods, and parallel computing, to exchange experience and to initiate new research collaborations. We are glad that our invitation was accepted by  distinguished experts from world-leading research institutions. This conference has become an international forum for exchanging ideas among researchers involved in scientific and parallel computing, including theory and applications, as well as applied and computational mathematics. The focus of HPCSE 2019 was on models, algorithms, and software tools that facilitate efficient and convenient utilization of modern parallel and distributed computing architectures, as well as on large-scale applications. The members of the Scientific Committee of HPCSE 2019 were Radim Blaheta,Martin Čermák, Zdeněk Dostál, Jaroslav Hron, Jiří Jaroš, Tomáš Kozubek, Jaroslav Kruis, Tomáš Oberhuber, Ivan Šimeček, Jakub Šístek, Petr Tichý, and Vít Vondrák. The invited plenary talks were presented by:    - Andrea Bartolini (University of Bologna),    - Steffen Börm (Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel),    - Ben T. Cox (University College London),    - Dominik Göddeke (University of Stuttgart),    - Frédéric Hecht (Université Pierre et Marie Curie),    - Jakub Kurzak (University of Tennessee),    - Günther Of (Technische Universität Graz),    - Daniela di Serafino (University of Campania Luigi Vanvitelli),    - Garth Wells (University of Cambridge),    - Stefano Zampini (KAUST).      We gratefully acknowledge the support of the Ministry of Education, Youth      and Sports from the National Programme of Sustainability (NPU II) through project      "IT4Innovations excellence in science - LQ1602". The HPCSE 2019 conference was      a fruitful event, providing interesting lectures, showcasing new ideas, demonstrating the      beauty of applied mathematics, presenting numerical linear algebra, optimization methods, and      high performance computing, and starting or strengthening collaborations and friendships.      This meeting attracted about 100 participants from 10 countries. All      participants were invited to submit an original paper to this book of      proceedings. We give thanks for all contributions as well as for the work of the      reviewers, and hope that this volume will be useful for readers. The proceedings were      edited by Tomáš Kozubek, Peter Arbenz, Jiří Jaroš, Lubomír Říha, Jakub Šístek, and Petr Tichý.      Finally, we would like to cordially invite readers to participate in the next HPCSE conference, which      is planned to be held at the same place on May 17-20, 2021. On behalf of the organizers, Tomáš Kozubek.
