About PACT

The purpose of PACT is to bring together researchers from architecture, compilers, applications and languages to present and discuss innovative research of common interest. PACT features cutting-edge research on a broad range of topics, that include, but are not limited to:

• Parallel architectures and computational models
• Compilers and tools for parallel computer systems
• Multicore, multithreaded, superscalar, and VLIW architectures
• Compiler/hardware support for hiding memory latencies
• Support for correctness in hardware and software (esp. with concurrency)
• Reconfigurable computing
• Dynamic translation and optimization
• I/O issues in parallel computing and their relation to applications
• Parallel programming languages, algorithms and applications
• Middleware and run-time system support for parallel computing
• High performance application specific systems
• Applications and experimental systems studies
• Non-traditional computing systems topics
