CONFERENCE OBJECTIVES
Current and future generation computer systems are aggressively
pursuing additional opportunities for boosting performance via
parallelism. Facing the challenge of exploiting such parallelism, a
simple "instruction set" as a binding contract between architects and
compiler writers may no longer be enough. This is the fourth in the
PACT series of successful conferences, previously held in Orlando,
Montreal and Limassol (Cyprus). The purpose of this working
conference is to provide an open forum for the parallel architecture and
compiler research communities to discuss and debate key issues of
common interest and see how parallelism can be enhanced and
exploited more efficiently in a joint effort. Also, we aim at bringing
together researchers with interest in both conventional and non-
conventional approaches (e.g., data-flow, multi-threading, etc.) to
foster communication. Papers are solicited which contain significant
novel ideas and research results. Conference topics include (but are not
limited to):
- Novel computation models for fine and medium grain parallelism;
- Architectures and compilers for fine and medium grain parallelism;
- Compiler / hardware techniques for exploitation of fine-grain parallelism in massively parallel machines;
- Support for medium-grain parallelism via low-latency processor interconnection networks;
- New programming languages and paradigms for fine and medium grain parallelism;
- Insights into compilation techniques or architectural mechanisms via application studies;
- Exploitation of fine and medium grain parallelism in application-specific architectures using data-flow, multi-threaded and other novel approaches.
