The
purpose of PACT is to bring together researchers from the architecture
and compiler communities to present ground-breaking research and debate
key issues of common interest. This conference, the tenth in the series,
will be held in lovely Barcelona, Spain. The city represents a unique
combination of beauty, culture, history, and advanced technology, and
fosters an ideal environment for an enjoyable and stimulating exchange
of ideas. Once again, the focus of the meeting will be on multi-disciplinary
research. We solicit novel papers in a broad range of topics, including
(but not limited to):
Parallel architectures and computation models
Theoretical foundations of parallel architectures
Cluster computing based on PCs with commodity switches
Cluster computing: Unix (Linux) versus NT
Parallel processing in the context of JAVA
Application-specific parallel architectures
Compilers for parallel computer systems
Compiler/hardware support for hiding memory latencies
Advances in architectures and compilers for ILP (superscalar,
VLIW, multiscalar
architectures...)
Parallel programming languages and paradigms
Application studies that demonstrate the performance of parallel
computer
systems
Reconfigurable architectures
Role of Compiler and Compilation Technology to reduce power consumption
