[Hari Sundar]

PACT 2022, the 31st International Conference on Parallel Architectures
and Compilation Techniques, will be held on October 10–12, 2022 in
Chicago, IL. Call for papers, workshops and tutorials are now open.
For further details, and to submit your work, please see the
conference web site at https://pact22.cs.illinois.edu.

Call for Papers

Submissions Due: April 25, 2022

Scope

2022 will mark the 31st edition of the International Conference on
Parallel Architectures and Compilation Techniques (PACT). PACT is a
unique technical conference that sits at the intersection of parallel
architectures and compilers. The PACT conference series brings
together researchers from architecture, compilers, execution
environments, programming languages, and applications, to present and
discuss their latest research results.

Our current plan is to hold PACT 2022 as an in-person event, after two
consecutive virtual conferences. However, because of the uncertainty
on the evolution of the pandemic and various travel restrictions, we
still may need to revise those plans. We will make this decision some
time in the Spring of 2022.

We solicit contributions in a broad range of topics, including (but
not limited to) the following:

Parallel architectures and computational models
Compilers and tools for parallel computer systems
Multicore, multithreaded, superscalar, and VLIW architectures
Compiler/hardware support for hiding memory latencies
Support for correctness in hardware and software
Reconfigurable parallel computing
Dynamic translation and optimization
I/O issues in parallel computing and their relation to applications
Parallel programming languages, algorithms, and applications
Middleware and run time system support for parallel computing
Application-specific parallel systems
Applications and experimental systems studies of parallel processing
Relevant aspects of distributed computing and mobile computing
Heterogeneous systems using various types of accelerators
In-core and in-chip accelerators and their exploitation
Applications of machine learning to parallel computing
Insights for the design of parallel architectures and compilers from
modern parallel applications
Future parallel systems for beyond Moore's law and/or beyond Exascale
Quantum computing architecture and technology
Programming quantum computers, including compilation, languages, and
control software
Simulation of quantum circuits

Call for Workshops/Tutorials

We are soliciting proposals for workshops and tutorials within the
general scope of PACT. Members of the community are encouraged to
submit proposals for workshops and tutorials that bring together
researchers and practitioners to share their tools, technologies,
latest results and to discuss work in progress and new directions.
Topics on distributed system innovations leveraging new device and
packaging innovations, trends in heterogenous computing based on
domain specific accelerators, compilation/system-management for such
systems, and addressing emerging applications domains, are encouraged.

Those interested in organizing a workshop or tutorial are invited to
contact the Workshops and Tutorials Chair Manoj Kumar,
manoj1 at us.ibm.com. We will be doing rolling acceptances and encourage
potential organizers to contact us as soon as possible.
