Subject: PACT'98 CFP
THE 1998 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
ON PARALLEL ARCHITECTURES AND COMPILATION TECHNIQUES
PARIS, FRANCE, OCTOBER 14 - 17, 1998
USA: www.cs.njit.edu/pact
Europe: www-inf.enst.fr/pact
Japan: www.rwcp.or.jp/lab/pdsperf/pact
Sponsored by IFIP Working Group 10.3 (Concurrent Systems) and IEEE
TCCA (pending), INRIA France, in cooperation with ACM SIGARCH (pending).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The purpose of this working conference, the sixth 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
