Conference Objectives
PACT brings together researchers from architecture, compilers,
languages and applications to present ground-breaking research and
debate key issues of common interest. This premier conference, the
fourteenth in the series, will be held in Saint Luois, Missouri. Once
again, the focus of the conference will be on multi-disciplinary
research. PACT solicits novel papers on a broad range of topics,
including, but not limited to:
- Parallel architectures and computational models
- Compilers and tools for parallel computer systems
- Superscalar, VLIW and multithreaded architectures
- Compiler/hardware support for hiding memory latencies
- Hardware and software support for energy/heat-aware computing
- Hardware and software for network processing
- Reconfigurable computing
- Dynamic translation and optimization
- I/O issues in parallel computing and their relation to applications
- Parallel programming languages, algorithms and applications
- Run time system support for parallel systems
- Mobile/wireless computing for parallel applications
- Application specific systems
- Applications and experimental systems studies
- Parallel processing in the context of Java
- Non-traditional computing systems topics
