OVERVIEW*
*
The 21st International Conference on Parallel Architectures and
Compilation Techniques (PACT) invites participation in the ACM Student
Research Competition (SRC). Sponsored by ACM and Microsoft Research,
the SRC is a forum for undergraduates and graduate students to share
their research results, exchange ideas, and improve their
communication skills while competing for prizes. Students accepted to
participate in the SRC are entitled to a travel grant (up to $500) to
help cover travel expenses. The top 3 undergraduate and graduate
winners will receive all of the following prizes:*
*
  1. Monetary prizes of $500, $300, and $200, respectively.*
*
  2. An award plaque and a two-year complimentary ACM membership
    with a subscription to ACM's Digital Library.*
*
  3. The names and research abstracts of the winners will be posted
    on the ACM SRC web site.*
*
  4. An invitation to participate in the SRC Grand Finals, an on-line
    round of competitions among the winners of individual
    conference-hosted SRCs. The top three graduate and undergraduate
    Grand Finalists will receive an additional $500, $300, and $200,
    respectively, along with Grand Finalist plaques. Grand Finalists and
    their advisors will be invited to the Annual ACM Awards Banquet for
    an all-expenses-paid trip, where they will be recognized for their
    accomplishments, along with other prestigious ACM award winners,
    including the winner of the Turing Award.*
*
The SRC consists of two rounds: a poster session and a presentation
session. A panel of judges will select a number of finalists from the
poster session, who will be invited to the presentation session at
PACT 2013 and compete for the prizes. The evaluation will be
concentrated on the quality of both visual and oral presentation, the
research methods, and the significance of contribution.*

ELIGIBILITY*
*
A participant in the SRC must meet all following conditions:*
*
  1. The participant must submit an up to 800-word abstract
    outlining the content of a poster that is going to be presented
    during the competition. The abstract must include the poster
    title, author names, affiliations, and the name of the academic
    advisor. It should describe the research problem, motivation and
    background, techniques and results, and the prospect for clearly
    and concisely conveying the work in a poster format. It should
    state the novelty and contributions of the work explicitly. The
    submission deadline is Friday June 21, 2013, at 11:59 pm US
    Eastern Time.*
*
  2. The abstract can have some overlap with previous publications
    (including PACT-2013), but some significant part of it must have
    not appeared before. Novelty is one of the criteria for
    selection.*
*
  3  The abstract and the poster must be authored solely by the
    participant.*
*
  4. The participant must be an ACM student member, and must
    maintain an undergraduate or graduate student status as of June
    21, 2013. Please indicate whether you are an undergraduate or
    graduate student.*
*
For each accepted SRC poster, a one-page extended abstract in the ACM
format will be included in the PACT-2013 conference proceedings. The
content, however, can be included in a future submission to other
conferences or journals.*
