Conference Objectives:

The purpose of PACT is to 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 that include, but are 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 (esp. 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
* Non-traditional computing systems topics

Information for Authors:

Abstract submissions are due March 18, 2011 and paper submissions are
due March 25, 2011. No extensions will be granted. Detailed instructions
for electronic submission and other important dates will be posted on the
