PACT-2002 Call for Papers
(pdf)
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
eleventh in the series, will be held in historic Charlottesville,
Virginia, home of the University of Virginia, which was founded by
Thomas Jefferson as one of the first public universities in the United
States. Charlottesville is nestled next to the beautiful Shenandoah
mountains, with the homes of three presidents (Jefferson, Madison, and
Monroe), Civil War sites, and many fine wineries nearby. 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 computation models
- Compilers and tools for parallel computer systems
- I/O issues in parallel computing
- Parallel processing in the context of Java
- Compiler/hardware support for efficient memory systems
- New architectures and compilers for ILP and TLP
- Novel uses for threads to improve performance or power
- Applications and experimental systems studies
- Application-specific systems
- Software dynamic translation and modification
- Hardware/software support for energy-aware computing systems
- Technologies for managing energy and heat
- Network processing and computing
- Non-traditional computing system topics
- Parallel programming languages and algorithms
- Operating system support for parallel systems
- Mobile/wireless computing in the context of parallel applications
