International Conference on Parallel Architectures and Compilation Techniques

PACT 2020


Software Systems



PACT 2020, Atlanta, October 3-7, 2020
Call for Papers
PACT is a long-running and unique conference at the intersection of classical parallel architectures and compilers that brings together researchers from architecture, compilers, programming languages, and applications to present and discuss their latest research results. Applications as a driver for innovations in architecture and compilers are an important theme of the conference.
We solicit contributions in a broad range of topics, including (but not limited to) the following:
Parallel architectures and computational models
Compilers and tools for parallel computer systems
Multicore, multithreaded, superscalar, and VLIW architectures
Compiler/hardware support for hiding memory latencies
Support for correctness in hardware and software
Reconfigurable parallel 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
Application-specific parallel systems
Applications and experimental systems studies of parallel processing
Relevant aspects of distributed computing and mobile computing
Heterogeneous systems using various types of accelerators
Insights for the design of parallel architectures and compilers from modern parallel applications (e.g., machine learning, data analytics, and computational biology)
Future parallel systems for beyond Moore’s law and/or beyond Exascale
Security issues in parallel computing
Compiler techniques for Quantum computing
