The Fifteenth International Conference on
Parallel Architectures and Compilation Techniques
September 16-20, 2006

Welcome to PACT-2006

PACT'06 was held in Seattle, Washington, with fantastic attendance of 139. Thanks to everyone - speakers, authors, and attendees - for a very successful and rewarding event!

PACT is a multi-disciplinary conference that brings together researchers from the hardware and software areas to present ground-breaking research related to parallel systems ranging across instruction-level parallelism, thread-level parallelism, multiprocessor parallelism and distributed systems.

PACT features cutting-edge research in architecture, compilers, languages and applications across 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 correctness in hardware and software (esp. with concurrency)
