PACT 2012 will bring together researchers from architecture, compilers,
applications and languages to present and discuss innovative research of common
interest. PACT solicits novel papers on a broad range of topics including, but not
limited to:

* 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 (especially with
concurrency)
* Reconfigurable 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
* High performance application specific systems
* Applications and experimental systems studies
* Topics in non‐traditional computing systems
