The Fifteenth International Conference on
Parallel Architectures and Compilation Techniques
September 16-20, 2006
Conference Objectives
PACT brings together researchers from architecture, compilers,
applications, and languages to present and discuss innovative research of common interest. This premier conference, the
fifteenth in the series, will be held in Seattle, Washington. 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, multicore, and multithreaded architectures
- Compiler/hardware support for hiding memory latencies
- Hardware and software support for energy/thermal-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 type safe languages (Java, C#, etc.)
- Non-traditional computing systems topics
- Support for correctnes in hardware and software (esp. with concurrency)
