[hpc-announce] Call for Workshops & Tutorials: PACT 2026 (Proposal deadline: May 16, 2026)

[Ren, Jie]

We invite workshop and tutorial proposals for PACT 2026 — The International Conference on Parallel Architectures and Compilation Techniques, to be held in Chicago, IL, USA, October 19–22, 2026.

PACT is a premier forum for research at the intersection of parallel architectures, compilers, runtime systems, and programming models. Workshops and tutorials complement the main technical program by providing venues to explore emerging topics, foster collaboration, build new research communities, and share tools, methodologies, and experiences.

We encourage proposals that address topics relevant to the PACT community, including (but not limited to):

  *   Parallel architectures (multicore, manycore, heterogeneous systems)
  *   Accelerator-based and domain-specific architectures
  *   Compilers and runtime systems for parallel and heterogeneous platforms
  *   Hardware–software co-design
  *   Performance portability and sustainable computing
  *   AI/ML systems and large-scale workloads
  *   Programming models and system software for emerging architectures
  *   Performance analysis, profiling, and optimization tools

Both half-day and full-day workshops or tutorials are welcome.


Important Dates (AoE)

Workshop/Tutorial proposal deadline: April 14, 2026
Notification of acceptance: May 1, 2026
