Subject: PACT'99 Call For Papers
THE 1999 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
ON PARALLEL ARCHITECTURES AND COMPILATION TECHNIQUES
NEWPORT BEACH, CALIFORNIA, USA, OCTOBER 12 - 16, 1999
USA: www.rose-hulman.edu/PACT
Europe: w3.u-picardie.fr/~cerin/ieee/section/pact99
Japan: fukuda.aist-nara.ac.jp/pact99/
Sponsored by IFIP Working Group 10.3 (Concurrent Systems)(pending),
IEEE TCCA (pending), ACM SIGARCH (pending)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The purpose of this working conference, the eighth in the series, is
to provide an open forum for the parallel architecture and compiler
research communities to debate key issues of common interest, and to
further the state of the art in parallel architectures and
compilers. We invite researchers with interest in both conventional
and non-conventional approaches (MPP, SMP, clustered-SMP, PC-clusters,
data-flow, ILP, multi-threading, and optical) to participate. A new
theme in the present conference will be parallel processing in the
context of JAVA, a topic that has recently been gaining importance. We
solicit papers, which contain significant novel ideas and research
results. Conference topics include (but are 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 (JAVA multithreading,
JAVA processors with parallelism, novel compiler optimizations for
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...);
New parallel programming languages and paradigms;
Application studies that demonstrate the performance of parallel
computer systems;
Reconfigurable architectures;
INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS

IMPORTANT DATES
Papers due: April 23, 1999
Author notification: July 6, 1999
Camera ready copy: July 31, 1999
TUTORIALS/WORKSHOPS
Proposals are solicited for tutorials and workshops to be held
during the conference. Interested individuals are invited to submit
a proposal by June 1, 1999 to respective Chairs. The proposal
should include a brief description of the intended audience, a
lecture outline and vita for lecturer(s).
Last year, we had tutorials on the multithreaded architecture of the
Tera parallel computer and the Trimaran compiler
infrastructure. There were two workshops, one on profile and
feedback directed compilation and the other on reconfigurable
computing.
For general questions, please send email to the Publicity Chair
