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
* Multi-core, 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
