                    ==================================

26th International Conference on Parallel Architectures & Compilation Techniques

September 9-13, 2017                                Portland, Oregon, USA

= ABOUT PACT =
==============

The purpose of PACT 2017 is to bring together researchers from architecture,
compilers, applications and languages to present and discuss innovative
research of common interest.

PACT started as a Data Flow Workshop in conjunction with ISCA 1989 but
quickly evolved into a unique venue at the intersection of classical parallel
architecture and compilers.

Recently, PACT widened its scope to include insights useful for the design of
machines and compilers from applications such as, but not limited to, machine
learning, data analytics and computational biology.

PACT solicits novel papers, workshops, tutorials, and entries to an ACM
student research competition on a broad range of topics that include, but are
not limited to:

  o Parallel architectures and computational models
  o Compilers and tools for parallel computer systems
  o Multicore, multithreaded, superscalar, and VLIW architectures
  o Compiler/hardware support for hiding memory latencies
  o Support for correctness in hardware and software
  o Reconfigurable parallel computing
  o Dynamic translation and optimization
  o I/O issues in parallel computing and their relation to applications
  o Parallel programming languages, algorithms and applications
  o Middleware and run time system support for parallel computing
  o Application-specific parallel systems
  o Applications and experimental systems studies of parallel processing
  o Relevant aspects of distributed computing and mobile computing
  o Heterogeneous systems using various types of accelerators
  o Insights from modern parallel applications such as, but not limited to,
    machine learning, data analytics, and computational biology for the
    design of parallel architectures and compilers

Camera Ready Final Papers:  July  19, 2017


===============
= SUBMISSIONS =
===============

Submitted papers will be evaluated on technical merits and clarity of
presentation. Papers must contain sufficient information and be organized in
such a way that their technical contribution and significance can be
understood by a wide audience of computer scientists.

Submitted papers must be original material that has not been previously
published in another conference or journal, nor is currently under review by
another conference or journal. Papers are to be submitted for double-blind
review. This means that author names as well as hints of identity are to be
removed from the submitted paper.

Authors of accepted papers will be invited to formally submit their
supporting materials to the Artifact Evaluation Committee.  The task of this
committee is to assess how the artifacts support the work described in the
papers. Submission is volunta ry. Papers that go through the artifact
evaluation process successfully will receive a seal of approval which will be
printed on the first page of the papers in the proceedings.
